Light in the Arctic

Above the Arctic Circle, daylight transforms dramatically through the seasons - from the magical polar night to the endless summer sun.

Polar Night

December - January

The sun stays below the horizon, creating weeks of ethereal blue twilight. Far from dark, this magical time bathes the landscape in soft, dreamlike light.

Blue Moment

November - January

During midday, the sky glows with an intense, otherworldly blue. Photographers treasure this 'sininen hetki' - the blue moment unique to the Arctic.

Aurora Season

September - March

Long dark nights provide the perfect canvas for the Northern Lights. Lapland sits directly under the auroral oval - one of Earth's best viewing locations.

Return of the Sun

Late January

After weeks of polar night, the sun finally peeks above the horizon. Locals celebrate this moment - a promise that spring will eventually come.

Expect real winter conditions. Layering matters more than exact temperatures.
