This is how I experienced polar night in Murmansk, the biggest city in Arctic Circle. It is located in the north-west of Russia and borders with Finland.

Just imagine sun not rising for 40 days..it's not the complete darkness, but a few hours of magic colours in the sky which seem like sunset.
Now, Murmansk is one of the fastest shrinking cities in Russia! Its population was around half a million people at the times of the Soviet Union, and according to the 2010 census less than 300,000 people still lived there

What is it like to live at the edge of the world?
With severe nature around.
Let's find out!
