Get Loot, Get Lucky! - Archipelagates

Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago above the Arctic Circle, experiences polar night from mid-November to late January, when the sun doesn’t rise, cloaking its icy, glacier-covered landscape in darkness, faintly lit by twilight and northern lights. Despite subzero temperatures, about 2,500 residents in Longyearbyen and Arctic wildlife endure, supported by artificial light, until sunlight returns in late January, ushering in the midnight sun by April. | Historyinmemes
