New Year’s Eve and polar night

This website’s start into the new year was as grim as one could only imagine. Now this second posting is also dedicated to dark affairs, but in a completely different sense that includes the very special aesthetics of the polar night. Here are some impressions from the darkest time of the year in the high north, where New Year’s Eve celebrations follow a pattern quite similar to what most readers will know from wherever – in the end, almost everywhere in the world the old year is seen off and the new one welcomed with some fireworks. In Longyearbyen, there is a public one and very little private banging and shooting. Actually, there are two, a family-friendly one at 19.00 hours and then of course one at midnight.
