![]() So I thought this month’s blog post could be about the lighter side of the darkest days of the year and what makes them so special (pun intended). In fact, we celebrate it! My colleagues and I prefer this time of year for many reasons and actually it is one of the most popular times of the year for us when running tours. So how do we cope I hear you ask? It must be so hard to get anything done, no? Well actually, coping is not a word that is generally used when referring to this time of the year. Sadly, it’ll be late February before we start to get anything close to a normal day of sunlight. ![]() It sticks around that number until New Year and then you gain around 5 minutes of daylight per day all the way up to the days of the midnight sun on the 21st of June. ![]() On the darkest day of the year, the 21st of December, direct sunlight will drop below 4 hours. The sun didn’t rise until 11:16 today and will say good bye at 15:30. Don’t forget the stars while looking to the heavens.Īs I write this, on the 13th of December, I am squeezed into the few daylight hours left in Iceland.
