In the north of Norway, we have an expression that describes the special light that occurs during the polar night season. “Blåtime”, directly translated “the blue hour”. Today it was breathtaking!

Saying goodbye to the sun
In less than a month we will be entering the polar night season in the North Cape. Here’s what it looks like at 71˚N at 1:30 pm.
Eight hours of daylight!
When the sun comes back on January 22, putting an end to the polar nights, it doesn’t waste anytime brightening our days. Now, just 30 days later we have 8 hours of daylight! Sunrise 7:30 am and sunset 15.30. And we are grateful it is blessing us with its presence.
Rose-tinted Light
No need for rose-tinted glasses here: The sun is almost approaching the horizon now, and the coastline is blanketed in rosy, peachy, dreamy hues. Magic!
