Finally arrived in Ivalo, north of the Arctic Circle.

Even though the sun isn't actually up, it is still fairly light during mid-day. Hard to actually show it with cameras. They are so smart and able to compensate quite well. There will be a couple of photos that actually show the darkness, but it is different.
