Jokusarlon under the midnight sun. One of my favorite moments of the entire trip. Literally around midnight. It doesn't get darker than this either. And There was maybe only 2-3 other people there, so I basically had the whole place to myself. I HIGHLY recommend staying around here and going between 11pm-2am. I could've stayed there all night but needed a few hours of sleep eventually.... Doesn't get more magical than this... I even saw 4-5 seals playing in the lagoon.
