A new year, and the sun is rising
Here in the northernmost part of Tröllaskagi, the moon reigns supreme in the sky at New Year’s. The sun, shy and elusive during these months, only begins to show itself toward the end of January. This year, its return has already transformed the mountainscape. Soft golden rays illuminate the snow-covered peaks, casting long shadows and painting the terrain in hues of amber and rose. With each passing day as the sun rises higher in the sky, the light grows stronger, heralding the slow approach of spring.
Throughout centuries, despite harsh struggles for survival, something innate has always helped us persevere, await the sun’s return, and place our hopes in the future. With the sun’s reappearance comes a sense of renewal, as if its brightness also kindles light in our souls.
Though winter darkness lingers, stars twinkle on clear nights, and the moon sometimes feels so near it seems almost within reach. After this New Year’s, Venus stayed remarkably close to the Moon, shining so brightly in the western sky that it cast shadows upon the earth. Here, near the Arctic Ocean, the moon and night sky bring tidings at the year’s turn, and recently, these celestial messages have been especially beautiful.
As the sun rises higher each day, it breathes new life into the landscape. Snow-covered fields sparkle with brilliance, and Tröllaskagi’s peaks stand as proud witnesses to the sun’s return. This dynamic interplay of light and shadow inspires both awe and adventure.
