- What is Polar Night like? To help answer that, I shot "Polar Night" - a short documentary, telling the story of the people who live and work in a remote Norwegian town, 250 miles into the Arctic Circle, as they wait to see the sun for the first time in over two months.

I can feel this in my heart. I really want to experience this
Me too
Me too !!! Always have dreamed of living in Alaska ..literally on my bucket list
Living thousands kilometers south in Poland. Recently (december) I had opportunity to work night shifts 3 weeks straight, 7-8 hours of sleep daily. Going into third week got a bit depressing. Seeing direct sunlight for the first time after these weeks was sooo odd, but made me realise how drained of energy i was. Do not recommend. :/
I can only imagine how majestic it must feel to see the sun again after having missed it for 60 days... that must be a very touching experience - thanks for sharing!
It was! I remember getting goosebumps all over when I saw that first sunrise 🌄
@Jack S yes
Goto Seattle and you can experience this
@@ArJayDM no not in Seattle. You can experience that only in regions above the arctic circle. Therefore Alaska or Canada would be the right choice.
@arcturus514 it's called a joke, genius. Seattle is known to be cloudy and rainy all the time, so the people there do not see the sun alot.
As hard as life in the Arctic circle is, which I believe it is, it seems to offer something most of us "modern" humans have lost - a direct link to nature, its perils and beauty. I'm a winter person, my skin doesn't like the sun, I'd give most of what I have for a life like that - several months in night and dusk, time to contemplate and acquire humility before the forces that determine our fate, and man's best friends being the vital life line our pioneer ancestors in the North have recognized them to be.
Dude, you need to write short stories or something.
Oof
We live in Barrow Alaska
So I know exactly what it's all about ❤️And right now we're in the Polar Night
what do u feel about this polar night?
@@kittywang5158 Well it makes the Life here a little harder .... Especially that I can't ordered from Amazon in the PN lol
But otherwise it's not a huge difference
It's polar nights in northern Norway it effects sleeping cycle.
woooow. i cant ever imagine what is looks like. but the other side it must be amazing u can watch a night sky longer in day time.
@@kittywang5158 it's not pitch black during the Polar Night ...it looks more like a Solar eclipse . It makes things difficult depending on where you live . Barrow is surrounded by the Arctic Ocean . That means you can't leave without an Airplane , at least in the Winter when Ships can't make it through the Arctic Ocean. It's pretty rare that Airplanes taking of during this Time . So like I said ...At the Moment I can't even order from Amazon . We just got one Grocery store in Town .
I love the dark ...I feel like I could totally live there and experience this ❤️❤️it seems so peaceful in Alaska ...I'm moving there someday
You should follow your dreams
My partner thinks I’m mad but I would absolutely love to experience this too ❤
Amazing production. Thank you!
This is absolutely beautiful 😍 to be with nature and experience the phenomenon this universe while still resting a feet on earth is great !!!
If I ever get an opportunity, I’d love to visit this place at least ONCE in my lifetime 💚
I would say the one thousand to two thousands dollars to get to there to experience this would be well worth it.
This is so amazing.
I love the darkness so much I’d be totally fine if I never saw the sun again
Thank you so much for that beautiful view and video 😍😍
You're very welcome Annette
Enjoy Sunshine and Please be Vegan🥬🥗🌽🥕🥦🥥🥑🍓🍇🍌🍎🍐🍑🥭🍅🥒🍉❤️🌞🌈👼❤️🏖
Wonderful thanks for sharing, great to see 4.57 too: thee return of th sun. How magic up there.
Great video. Well done!
my goodness.. its mind blowing video
We need to learn to appreciate the darkness, because the darkness exists only to lead us to the light. The dark colors and forces and the light colors and forces co-exist as in Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang are interdependent forces that co-exist to allow room for peace and harmony in the natural world.
Wow what a great video! !
Thank you Joan
Lovely video!
Woww i really want to experience the polar night and then seeing the sun, that must be lovely
Hello from Japan ❣️🇯🇵
I love your video so much❤️ It's really beautiful. She has gently and soft air .
I’m sad that your video posts have stopped. 😭 I’m always waiting for your new video.
Great video and very interesting views from people who live there. I was disappointed that your video ended before witnessing the climactic celebrations of the return of the sun, but it was still a good story. Cheers!
This is it the kinda place i wanna go once in my life💗
Wow such an amazing story this video deserves more views 😍
Thanks!
the colors are so cool. Black, then blue, then black again and if you're lucky and in front of a nice fire, some red mixed in.
Such an underrated video :(
Beautiful place...
Omg, so cozy
Feels calm once have to experience 😌 ☺
I just can't imagine how freezing it would be there. Great documentary!
Just one question: with that freezing temperature, how often people there take a bath?
At least there is peace there...
It all seems like fairy tales to me. Lucky you! you are living it everyday 😍
Wow I want to experience this kind of season 😍
Very interesting video. It`s really strange if you think that people living there can`t see the sun for 2 months straight!
Thank you Razvan. And yep - it's a bit weird. But they get used to it. Some people I met there had been living there for decades.
Aye but they'll have 2 months of sunlight in the summer months
Beautiful place.
Must get depressing
Cool stuff, next video shows us two months of sun all the time :)
Thanks :) Yep, that would be cool!
I have to admit I'd find that hard. I could deal with anywhere north up to Arctic circle, but to not to see the sun for that amount of time would be a challenge. I live just over 50N, so still 8 hours of daylight in late December to be had.
3:16 very wise words.
Great video
I'm from India now here summer starting
Now which season starts in Arctic Circle...
Depression is not caused by your mood swings or your attitude. You can't prevent it if you have a vitamin deficiency, a vitamin that the sun provides. Your diet is also very important for providing you with the required vitamins. Furthermore, exercise helps distribute vitamins to your body and to your brain, which helps prevent or overcome depression.
We need to stop viewing depression as a mood and instead see it as an illness that requires treatment.
I would seriously love to experience tht but for couple of days as more n more they wer saying about how they miss the Sun I just went to my window to take a glance n it felt so good often we belittle things which are alway around us
270 days left before I'll land above the Arctic Circle. In Finland. During the Polar Night.
Please, does anybody know where the music is coming from? It gives me goosebumps
That's some creative stuff, what you did there..
Watching from philippines!! Wish i could go to that place😍
I hope you get to one day!
Me too.. Im from philippines and i love polar night :(
It's very hard to live 6 months of days and 6 months of nights
Wow
I wanna go there sooner
Hi from PHILIPPINES, SOUTHEAST ASIA
どこ？
Reminds me of the masterpiece snow dogs movie
It does explains Scandinavian Black Metal I think ...
how to contact your team for this trip?
I live in Arizona and still cry when we hit 117 I can’t wait to move somewhere cold I’d rather wear jackets year long than sweat and have road rage 😭
haha fair enough!
Lol, northern Norway is about 20 degrees daytime temp in winter so maybe consider somewhere with a little more mild temperatures not from one extreme (117F) to another (20F)
As previous commenter said, I wouldn’t go straight from 117 to 20 , a guy I knew from Texas was still freezing, (warped up) when everyone here was sweating buckets walking about in shorts in 80F
With me the opposite.. But im not native Norwegian..I was born in place with sun +300 days a year even after it rains it's sun after
whatever. This is not really a complete darkness. Its at least several hours of lovely twilight. The blue twilight in particular is absolutely beautiful. Besides in summer you get 24 hrs of daylight so these sissies can zip it. Also, the snow makes the landscape quite bright actually even without a direct sunlight
In Svalbard - that makes more sense - that is a true darkness (almost not even any nautical twilight at all) for 2 months.
Make comfort you #brother. I wish to visit someday.
I hope you get a chance to Leta :)
Is this the "40 days of night" place?
Imagine if the resedence there visit other countries USA. They always love to be outside to see the sun every day. (Maybe)
Is coulder in Norway then Sweden?
i wish i can visit it someday
I hope you get a chance to :)
i love jihan
What about the moon during that time..?
What about moon for the whole year., How it show up in sky.
I want to know about moon.
I can't believe this,,, Subhan Allah
This would not depress me a bit NIGHT IS WONDERFUL . I LIKE THE sun of course but evenings always go away to fast there id enjoy the quiet and THE SLAY DOG RIDES IN THE STARY ARROYAS
Cikgu nadzirah bring us here
Pwoli..💥🌌🌌🌆🌍

Cause i live in a tropical country with the sun shining all year , so this is very interesting to me...wonder how cold it is, and i can see northern lights with my own eyes....
We are blessed to be living under sun dont get carried away by such snowy videos, they look good in videos and pictures but in real its frozen hell.
Do any trees or shrubs grow during that time ?
No. Total hibernation
Watching from Indonesia..i hope i could visit there someday to test my body if i could stay in that temperature or no
saia juga :")
@@paredisedess hai Indonesia 😊
weakling
I wish I could do it
Before I die i would love to see the northern lights and my life will be full fill.
I hope you get to do that one day 🔭
@@Solardiysystems just imagine a last breath of air looking at the curtain lights? What a magical way to die.
🥰
N-E-V-E-R
I want to experience this before I die...for two months.
Just sleep, watch movies, do self care, and eat.
Woow
This is beautiful and stunning, however not sure I would want a full throttle experience of living it. I’ve heard populations living in these regions that go weeks or months without sun struggle with problems like depression and suicide. I’m assuming there’s something about no sunlight that really screws with people?
I am an example, yes,, and vegan too so it's not cheap here, but I am not native here in Norway and had sun most time of the year where i am from-southern Europe.. I couldn't go abroad(not vaccinated) to get the sun dose and without it I feel terribly weak and moody.. It is pretty yes, but God made us to love the sun aint it:P
@@ladydawn1973Eternity may I ask why you have chosen to be vegan in this climate? Or has there always been some form of veganism in these areas? From what I’ve read many people in colder regions have rely on meat/fish heavy diets for most of their nutrition. I assume you are importing food?
You’re right we need that sun! Sorry to Herat you were stuck spending nearly an entire year without it 😬 our psychology is definitely tied to it.
@@TheRockyCrowe Figured it is healthy. I am NOT activist don't wanna change the world I just feel better being vegan, but I was hippie in early 90's and in the Maditerraneans AND LOVED the sun but now have D3 deficiency. dr' perscriped sun,, With S*A*D I have, i really can't love the noethern skies.. But yes it is pretty here., in Vesterålen:)
How they dry their clothes?
We had a drying room, with a special boot drying machine which worked really well :)
@@Solardiysystems thanks for the response!
Hey I was just curious if people over there get vit D deficiency
yes :( I am..having melancholy. hey but im not native...
No animal that is used as a working tool is actually treated as a friend. Apart from that, the video is interesting.
Shut up
This vdo is a classy
thanks Ifran :)
At least the bars are open 24/7
Polar night without sun for 2months,very difficult to survive in Artic.
you got it! I have D3 deficiency and depressed often had 16 sunny days last year.. If I don't go abroad to sunny place for 2 months a year I cannot survive this is the truth ;(
so even without the sun there is still some light based on the scene where a lady rides with dogs
there is plenty of twilight. the sun is just below the horizon in most parts of Northern Scandinavia so it’s actually not bad at all. As the sun culminates around midday this gives a total of at least 4-6 hours of “useable” light. Also, the snow is very reflective so in fact it looks brighter than here in north of England where we get a thick gray cloud with little to no snow at all making the days darker despite having a sunrise.
It's look like norniya movie place
Very harsh
Condition.
Africa is 50% nights and 50% days
어디세요?
가보고 싶다.
Hope I understood right - I used Google Translate. I was in Kirkenes, which is in the far north of Norway, in the 'Finmark' area. And I hope you do get to visit too!
@@Solardiysystems thank you, thank you, thank you. 꼭 여행 할께요. 거기 가서 시를 쓰고요. ( write a poem )
Here in the philipines most of us avoid the sun and the weather when summer very hot and humid that kind of phoenomena happening in the phil is one of my dream
@@ericateresa256 I hope one day you get to travel and experience it!
I’d like to experience this but I will prob just okay Skyrim instead
How muslims pray their salahs there ? Anyone knows?
Crying for dogs😭
If y'all got good WiFi yea sure I'll bring my money there. No WiFi no deal
ALLAH TA'ALA Stated In Quran About Ultimate Truth Of Night And Day. ALLAHU AKBAR. ALL PRAISE IS ONLY FOR ALLAH TA'ALA.
I laugh in graveyard shift.
If you want to see the sun came to Africa
This looks miserable
I always saw one thing , knowledgeful content CZcams creator doesn't have that much subscribers.🥲🥲
I just can't imagine how freezing it would be there. Great documentary!
Just one question: with that freezing temperature, how often people there take a bath?
Thank you Caloy! Personally I showered a little less than in warmer places, but we had showers, and I'm sure most people used them. Where I stayed was well insulated so showering was generally not a problem.
And there was a hot tub outside in one of the guest cabins. I was in that on Christmas day when it was around -15ºc outside. It was fun getting out and running around in the snow with clouds of steam pouring off me!
I had 16 days with sun last year 2021 so far. No, it is not pretty when your body aches and you get depressed because lack of sun. It is nice video- but without sun humans cannot live.. I go abroad each year to feel energy again to southern parts becuse if I don't(like this year) it's blues so often..
