When we weren\u2019t out on the water with the whales, we spent our time in the beautiful town of Skjerv\u00f8y, in the heart of Northern Norway.<\/p>\n
Most days, we\u2019d return around 3:30 in the afternoon, just as the sun and the light slipped away, leaving us in celestial twilight. From afar, the lights of Skjerv\u00f8y would shimmer into view, growing brighter until the whole town looked like something straight out of a Christmas card.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m told they keep their lights on here 24 hours a day to create a sense of warmth and life, to ward off the doldrums of the long, dark northern winter. The result is a place that feels cosy and alive, no matter how cold or dark it is outside.<\/p>\n
