The land of midnight sun
From May through October, the Arctic reveals its gentler side. The midnight sun bathes the landscape in golden light, creating an ethereal world where time seems suspended. This is the season of endless adventures, from whale watching in pristine waters to hiking under the never-setting sun.
The bare season showcases the raw beauty of the Arctic landscape without its winter coat. Dramatic mountains rise directly from the fjord, waterfalls cascade down steep cliffs, and the extended daylight hours offer unlimited opportunities for exploration and photography.
