A closer look

Forget chasing the sunset; on Norway's Nordland Railway during the peak of summer, you are actively running away from it. Crossing the Arctic Circle at 66 degrees north, this grueling but gorgeous 10-hour locomotive journey exposes passengers to a relentless midnight sun. It weaves through deep, dramatic fjords and mountainous terrain, ensuring your circadian rhythm gets gloriously obliterated by 24 solid hours of golden hour light.
