While London lingers in the leftovers of summer’s heatwave, there are few remnants of summer left in the Arctic. Arctic regions around the world embraced the full week of first snows and fantastic Northern Lights, as they prepare for the fact that #winteriscoming
While waiting for winter, we wondered how well it would turn out this year. Certainly, we have been shown a strong start. As darkness descends on the Arctic this year, so do the most magnificent powdery white snow & bright Northern Lights!
