If there was no darkness, we would not know of the stars. My microexpedition was not to take place during the warm summer months. Again, I needed the struggle with the elements. I wanted to endorse the challenges and experience Norway in its darkest season. After I was greeted in Tromsø by a blizzard and the temperature plunged towards infinity, I questioned the decision with every paddle stroke: Why did I have to do that? Creeping out the tent in minus temperatures to paddle through the darkness for up to ten hours? Racking winds churned the waters into huge waves which almost capsized my SUP.
