<p>The dark winter is approaching on the northern hemisphere. At my latitude (67½°N), the sun sets at 15:00 by now, and a little more than a month away the polar night will start. So far, I'm virtually not doing any outdoor activities between October and February, due to the dark, cold conditions. But I still crave for the mountains!</p> <p>How can I still enjoy outdoor life when daylight lasts only a few hours? </p> <p>Some thought:</p> <ul> <li>Headlights, but last only a short time</li> <li>Full moon, particularly with snow-cover, should be quite bright. Bright enough for longer trips?</li> <li>Any other thoughts?</li> </ul>
