Snowfall is common, blanketing the region in a thick layer of snow. Strong winds can further intensify the cold, making it feel even chillier. Daylight hours are significantly reduced, with the polar night phenomenon occurring in some areas, where the sun doesn't rise above the horizon for an extended period.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDressing for Winter Tours\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDressing for winter requires layers to combat the extreme cold.
