Experiencing The Polar Night
During the Christmas holidays our family packed the car and headed to the Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park in Finnish Lapland to experience the polar night. Polar night is a period of darkness that occurs in polar regions when the sun stays below the horizon. For 6 days we skied in the national park making our own tracks, barely seeing another living soul and sleeping in tents and wilderness huts. Family quality time redefined! When staying below the horizon, the sun casts some of the most beautiful light for few hours in noon. This light and the endless darkness before and after it inspires and challenges me as a photographer and explorer. Varying conditions also make ski tours very demanding expeditions and getting the frames you want isn’t easy. More photos on my Instagram @konstalinkola
