So first of all, they get a few hours of what's known as civil twilight each day.

So this is the same as that time right before the sun rises or just after it sets when the sun is still below the horizon.

And so you have the sky that's

pink and purple and deeply blue and yellow, you're getting these magnificent sunrise and sunset colors.

But instead of getting them for 15 or 20 or 30 minutes like we do in most places on Earth, you can get them for two or three or four hours as the sun is skirting below the horizon for a couple of hours each winter day.

And then before and after that period, you have the blue hours.

You look outside and it's somewhere between like a navy, a royal or a pale blue, depending on what time of day.

And it's really like something I have not experienced anywhere else on earth.

And I think that people in Tromso really revel in and appreciate this extra special light that they get during the darkest days of the year.

Winter in Tromso is uniquely magical, right?

So you usually have a lot of snow so you can ski and snowshoe and snowmobile.

It's one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights.

So you have the Aurora Borealis often dancing in the sky.

The winter is the time of year that the whales come to the nearby fjords to feed.

So you have whales.

So there's all these things that, you know, it's giving Disney's Frozen, right?

It's giving Anna and Elsa, right?

It's extremely magical.

But that said...

It still is a nighttime level of darkness for about 18 hours a day, right?
