With time changes, earlier sunsets and colder weather forcing us all inside, most people’s winters are cold and dark. But there are some people in the world who truly experience the darkest winters on earth.

Northern Russians who live near the Arctic Circle had been living in winter darkness for 40 days straight until Friday, when the cold, winter sun finally rose.

According to The Moscow Times, residents shared their joy at their first glimpse of daytime — about 30 minutes worth — after weeks of going without. (People living in other parts of the world clearly do not know the meaning of Seasonal Affectiveness Disorder like those who live in the Arctic.)
