White darkness mesmerizes explorers from "summary" of Arctic Dreams by Barry Holstun Lopez
In the Arctic, darkness takes on a different quality. It is not the absence of light, but rather a presence in itself. This white darkness envelops everything, creating a mesmerizing effect on those who dare to explore its vastness. Explorers in the Arctic are drawn to this white darkness, its mystery calling out to them like a siren's song. They are captivated by the way it transforms the landscape, turning it into a surreal dreamscape of snow and ice. In this otherworldly realm, the rules of nature seem to bend and shift, leaving explorers in a state of awe and wonder. The white darkness is not just a physical phenomenon, but a psychological one as well. It has a way of distorting reality, blurring the lines between what is real and what is imagined. Explorers find themselves losing track of time and space, caught in a perpetual state of disorientation. Despite the dangers that lurk in the Arctic, explorers are willing to risk it all for a chance to experience the mesmerizing power of the white darkness. They are driven by a desire to push the boundaries of human knowledge and understanding, to uncover the secrets hidden within this frozen realm. In the end, the white darkness leaves explorers forever changed. It leaves an indelible mark on their souls, a haunting reminder of the beauty and brutality of the Arctic. And yet, despite the challenges and hardships they face, explorers continue to be drawn back to this frozen wilderness, unable to resist its magnetic pull.
