Picture a world of snow, ice and bone-chillingly cold water. A place where you hear your breath tinkling as it freezes in the air. This is the long Arctic winter, when the sun rarely rises above the horizon and the skies can stay dark for weeks, or even months. Life is hard up here in the far north: the distances are huge, the cold is extreme and the nights are long. Months from now, when summer arrives, this will be a very different place. Until then, white hills and frozen lakes sit under silent skies. The polar landscape sometimes looks lifeless, but among the icy bays and islands, nature finds a way to survive . . .
