The sun is unique during the winter time at the polar circle. First and foremost because it is scarce. Depending on the latitude, our home star disappears for a couple of months, and the world remains dark. Slowly, the sun rises again every day a little bit more; shy in the beginning, it dares go higher with the weeks passing by. At this time of the year, the few hours of daylight are encompassed with a very particular light, and it provides little warmth in a bitterly cold and hostile (though beautiful) environment.
