Summary

Description
English: The polar night in Nybyen, Svalbard, looks like on this photo. While the Sun doesn't rise above the horizon, it does come close to doing so. Instead of the pitch black many imagine it to be like, you get a blue light much of the time during the days of the polar night.

Note: the photo wasn’t actually taken during polar night.
