The Beauty of Darkness in the Arctic Circle | Winter Diary from Andøya / Vesterålen (#44)

It’s January, and we’re in the middle of the Arctic winter. Many people ask what it’s like to live above the Arctic Circle without sunlight for months. For me, it’s not about the darkness—it’s about the light. The little daylight we get makes this time of year so special, with its soft, calm colors and magical contrasts to the endless light of summer. And, of course, the northern lights—unpredictable and breathtaking—are one of the most unique parts of life in the north. In this week’s Winter Diary, I’m sharing a glimpse into our everyday life on Andøya, in the stunning Vesterålen region. From visits to the library with the kids to enjoying local moose meat for dinner, to fixing up the house with artwork and exploring breathtaking winter landscapes, it’s all part of the rhythm of Arctic living.

Her music applies a range of influences: the intimacy of alternative country/folk laced with widescreen splendor of contemporary pop. As a musician, songwriter, and filmmaker, Carmijn has held a long-cherished dream of living in the heart of nature. “For me nature is magical. It's healing and creates a feeling of total freedom. A feeling of peace. When I’m surrounded by big mountains and long rivers, I feel free. The sunlight on my skin, swimming in the cold water. When I close my eyes, words and melodies arise. “ In the spring of 2022, she moved with her partner and son from her native Netherlands to the North of Norway. Between tall mountains, long rivers, and endless forests, she quickly learned living in nature is both hard work and awe-inspiring. For Carmijn, Red Leaf Hill is as much about sharing as it is expressing, through her own means and by seeking out collaborators who travel a similar wavelength. On her YouTube channel, she’s garnered a steady following in her journeys across the Norwegian wilderness. To be an open book, where struggle, joy, fear, and courage are laid bare for all to see. As clear even as the brightest skies themselves. to my YouTube Channel! My name is Carmijn and my artist name is Red Leaf Hill. One year ago I moved together with my family to the North Norwegian countryside to start a life close to nature.r of our entry which turned out into a warm and cosy place
