Countries that Experiences Longer Periods Of Darkness



#3. Norway ( Darkness )

Widely famed as the Land of the Fjords and the Enchanting Polar Night, Norway is known for its breathtaking fjords and natural beauty. The entire nation also experiences contrastive seasons between summer days and winter nights.

The longest of nights similar to that of Sweden and Finland, is location dependent. Northern regions near the Arctic Circle can experience over 60 days of darkness, while southern regions have nights closer to 18 hours.

The Norwegians have embraced the polar night as a unique aspect of their culture. They take advantage of the darkness to celebrate night time festivals with light displays and participate in winter sports like cross-country skiing under a star-filled sky.
