arctic nights
Frozen northern evenings
Arctic nights are the extended periods of darkness that occur in polar regions during winter, when the sun remains below the horizon for weeks or months.
The phenomenon results from Earth's axial tilt.
Figuratively, arctic nights evoke isolation, extreme cold, or endurance: The expedition prepared for months of arctic nights.
