About this episode

So speaking of holiday chills - we’re focusing today on Tromso (Trom-say), Norway – the “Gateway to the Arctic”. Tromso is a vibrant little city above the Arctic Circle, where the sun vanishes for two entire months out of the year! And if Santa’s workshop has a dark side, some might say it could be Tromso, Norway.
