Yet in the cold climate, time slows in a way that allows you to engage with world more bravely and more gently. The crisp air is invigorating and rejuvenating. The scale of movement is both vast and minute, begging new narratives of how the world works and how the pieces fit together. Whether you crave the stunning spectacle of ice or simply dislike hot and humid weather, the glaciers and snowscapes will astound you.
