You do realize that a polar night doesn't mean it's pitch black outside *all the time*, right? The sun still goes up and down; it just doesn't go above the horizon anymore. However, when it gets *close* to the horizon, you still get a higher-than-average amount of ambient light.

Wrong. I actually lived there for 10 months, from August '03 to June '04. In December and January, it *is* pitch black outside. No difference between noon and midnight.
