That’s amazing! 4x4 4WD studded tires is the best and the safest option but the rental agency told us that a 2WD winter tires is sufficient unless there is a storm. But my piece of advice: get at least a 4WD (even if you have to pay extra: it’s really worth it). By the way, here is how driving there was like: ukposts.info/have/v-deo/amB7i2t5kKF22X0.html. If you need any other tips let me know. Enjoy your trip!!

It highly depends on which day of the year we are. This video was taken towards the end of November, where the sunrise was at ~10am and the sunset was at ~3pm and the sun is always on the horizon during the day (making it feel we are not daytime but sunset time, like what we see on the video). At the opposite of that, it never gets dark at the peak of the summer (!) which is unthinkable from a lower 48 point of view.
