78°Nord

In the plane somewhere above the sea, we look through the porthole the approaching night. This night will be our daily for the 3 next weeks. We try to estimate how much it will be dark. Some peolple say that the polar night is bluish, others that the moon is brighter, or that it's the northern lights that illuminate the sky….

We do not know exactly what we are looking for. We only have one
idea in mind, meet people who live up there, at 78 ° north. To see how we live on the other side of the Arctic Circle. To understand who are those people who've chosen to live where the nature is so rough.
It is 14:00 pm, bright spots appear at the horizon, in a black expanse. The moon seems so close, and these points of lights so vulnerable ... The plane lands on an ice track, it is 14:30 pm, we swear it is midnight, it is -20 °, we are in Longyearbyen, the most
Northern city in the world.
