In the heart of winter, the Arctic surrenders to ‘Kaamos’ —the mystical polar night, when daylight lingers only as a fleeting whisper on the horizon. Though the sun barely rises, the world is not devoid of colour; instead, a beautiful spectacle of dusk and twilight paints the sky into a breathtaking canvas of soft and delicate hues of pink, gold and blue, casting an ethereal glow over the snow-covered landscape.

In Rovaniemi the absolute polar night, when the sun stays hiding the entire day, lasts but a single day just before Christmas, yet its magic lingers far beyond. As twilight deepens, the sky might be illuminated by the splendour of the Northern Lights, and under clear skies, the millions of stars in the night sky offer a stunning display.
