It was our first Polar Low passing through, which entertained us the rest of the week. A weather phenomenon also know as the Arctic Hurricane, interesting & fascinating, new to us. Unlike hurricanes, they do not get named and have a much shorter lifespan. Nevertheless, they have a brutal aspect in its erratic behaviour. Finally it passed Lofoten with some distance but clearly demonstrated its impact in a manner comfortable to us newbies. A good start into the winter.
Despite the fact, that winter is officially still more than a month away, we feel, that our third season in the Lofoten is in full swing with the arrival of this Polar Low during the week.
Biking was not advisable under these conditions but we took the opportunity for walks within the surrounding area. Although the sun is now only getting up to a maximum of 3° above the horizon, it has not lost any power to put the scenery into a remarkable perspective, during the 4 hours daylight left.
Fair winds…
