Hammerfest is a small town in the north of Norway. It is about 1,000 kilometers north Arctic Circle. Only 9,407 people live here. However, about 175,000 tourists come here every year. In the winter, people here can do a lot of sports. They go skiing and they have snowmobiles. Children usually play outside, but if it’s very cold, they play inside on their computer or watch TV. In the evening, they usually stay at home and relax, or go and see friends. But the winter is difficult for old people because it is cold and light for only two or three hours a day. People even have breakfast, lunch, and dinner in the dark.

In the summer, life in Hammerfest is completely different. It is light for 24 hours a day, and the weather is sometimes very hot. People are outside every time. They go fishing, walking and have barbecues. They don’t sleep much and children don’t want to go to bed because they find it isn’t dark.

Life here is quiet and beautiful. The air is very fresh and clean. But the winter is very long and the summer is very short so people prefer spending their holidays to living here.
