From Iceland’s black sand beaches, they drove north into . The fjords, usually misted by winter’s chill, were drenched in sunlight. Kayaking through Geirangerfjord, Peter felt the sun on his back like a silent promise. He met a group of Norwegian hikers who invited him to a fika stop, offering coffee and aquavit, their stories of midnight sauna rituals making him sweat with anticipation. They spoke of Finse , a mountain pass where the sun never fully set. Peter’s skin tanned in ways he’d never experienced, and his hotel room became a blur of laughter, fermented herring, and the hum of cicadas—an insect he didn’t know thrived in Arctic summers.
