SUMMER: 20.05.-30.09.2017 The Arctic summer starts in mid-May with endless hours of Midnight Sun, which lights the nights until late August. These light days provide the perfect back-drop for exciting boat trips, vis- iting the Fuglefella bird cliffs or long-deserted settlements. The first birds begin to arrive in May for the nesting period. Later when the migratory birds leave, the vibrant green mountainsides begin to take on autumn colours.
