The small village in Krasnoyarsk Territory is the northernmost settlement in Russia. It is located at the latitude of 73°30′. There, it is a real kingdom of eternal winter! Snow falls as early as September and stays until May.
Polar nights last longer in Dikson than in other northern Russian cities. It begins on November 10-11 and ends in early February. And this is roughly 80 days of darkness! Can you imagine how awesome it is to finally meet the dawn (and see the sun!)?
In contrast, the polar day is also long - from May 5 to August 10. During this period, the sun does not set at all.
