These settlements are all located north of 72°33'N, which means there is a period with no civil twilight around the winter solstice. At that latitude, the polar night lasts from November 12 to January 29 (78 days) and the midnight sun lasts from May 7 to August 6 (91 days). 169 (almost half!) days a year have a "unusual" daylight cycle to people from most of the world, and the number of those days increases going north. The climate is extremely cold.
