Both areas are inside the Arctic Circle and so at that time of the
year the sun never sets. Despite a deserved reputation for being the

Sulitjelma was more cloudy but still warm. Nevertheless, a number of
permanent icefields and glaciers can be found in the area, along with
arctic flora and fauna.
