[Image]Album by Simon Roberts Featured on BBC In winter this region shrouded in darkness nearly 24 hours a day, a phenomenon known as Polyarnye Nochi (Polar Nights). (Photo: Mid-afternoon in a residential area of Murmansk, Russia.)Throughout December until mid-January, during the period of polar nights, the sun remains below the horizon and there is only a faint glow of light visible around midday.To note one third of Russia’s population live and work in these inhospitable climatic conditions. Amazing no?!!
