The Arctic Circle is a circle of latitude that runs 66°33′45.9″ north of the Equator. It marks the southernmost latitude where the sun can stay continuously below or above the horizon for 24 hours – these phenomena are known as the Midnight Sun in the summer and the Polar Night in the winter.
515 pm - heading back to bus
We arrived 2 hours later at Kierinki Village.
We're gonna stay in this beautiful farm house for a night.
We were told only 80 people live in this village although the area is much bigger than Sgp.
We hurried to place our day bags and headed to the dining area.
Time to head to our rooms
New door ah? How to open?😂
As usual, JS arranged for us to gather at night by 1030 pm.
As usual, our friend taking her breather saw a little clear sky and
thought there might be chance to see the aurora.
It got quite cloudy very soon, and we could see only faint lights
We watched till there's no more lights
