"Abandon watch, ye who enter here". Probably such a sign can be installed somewhere at the entrance to Upernavik. You will lose track of time there. You will be charmed by the beauty you see. Also, in this place, it is literally difficult to understand when it is the night and when it is the day.

We are used to working, traveling, discovering new peaks during the day, and sleeping at night. In Upernavik, the usual course of time is disrupted by the midnight sun, which shines both at night and during the day.

This phenomenon is common to all of Greenland. However, it is most obvious there, because Upernavik is located in the Northern part of the island. In the North, the midnight sun shines longer – it can last up to five months. This unusual natural phenomenon is associated with the tilt of the earth's axis and its orbit towards the Sun.

On a hill a little away from the city, you can see small colored houses below you, and then - huge, sparkling icebergs, ice fjords, rocks, and plains. It seems that the boundaries of time and space there are so blurred that you feel omnipotent.

The landscapes near Upernavik seem magical. And the soft light of the midnight sun makes the surrounding landscape look like a dream. It is better to come there in the spring and stay for the summer. The midnight sun is especially gentle and soft during this period. The cold, blue-white nature of Upernavik begins to glow with golden and yellow light. The shapes are slightly rounded. Icebergs and hilltops are drowned in some unreal, fabulous palette of pink, purple, yellow, and red colors.

It seems to you that life in this small town never freezes? It's true. Most artisans work almost around the clock during the midnight sun. They try to leave less work for the polar night. Note that you will have to adjust your sleeping schedule after Upernavik, but it's worth it!
