A winter break in the polar darkness of Swedish Lapland
Original: 'Unable to tell morning from afternoon, I felt my sense of time opening up': a (mostly dark) winter break in magical Swe
A Guardian travel writer describes a mostly dark winter holiday in Swedish Lapland, where the sun barely rises and days blur together. Without clear daylight, they say they lost track of morning and afternoon and felt a 'sense of time opening up'. The piece highlights the northern lights and the strange appeal of travelling somewhere during weeks of near-total darkness.
Why now: The piece offers an unusual travel idea at the start of the winter season, when polar-night trips and northern-lights holidays draw interest.
