During polar night above the Arctic Circle, the sun doesn't rise for weeks, creating an otherworldly landscape lit only by moon, stars, and aurora. Northern Alaska, Svalbard, or northern Canada offer the full experience—imagine complete darkness at noon, with the aurora dancing overhead and a surreal blue twilight that never becomes day.
