Norway: The Arctic Circle!!

The next 2 days after Ålesund were spent driving the slow roads of Norway northwards. So basically 6hrs in a car each day with me driving through the endless rain listening to podcasts whilst Emma slept! She can't nap during the day, but pop Emz in a car and she passes out within about 20min!
The coolest part of us heading northwards though is we entered into THE ARCTIC CIRCLE!!😁 The latitude of 23.5° from the poles (correlating to the 23.5° tilt of the Earth on its axis) where one can experience a polar night (no sunrise) in Winter and Midnight sun (no sunset) in Summer. This line does change though as the Earth is never exactly at a 23.5° tilt. This is the furthest we've both ever been Northwards on land and - by all likelihoods- will be the furthest we ever go North on this planet of ours. Our final latitude reached was 67.07°N. We celebrated with a cold beer in a jacuzzi at these cute little Arctic Cabins that we were staying at.Leggi altro
