A raw wind from the Heilongjiang River meets the road as you pull into Mohe County — grasslands give way to black spruce, and a ribbon of highway runs toward the Arctic Village where the map’s edge turns into real weather. In summer the sun stretches nearly 19 hours, daring you to keep up; in winter the air hardens to -20° to -40°C and the landscape snaps into a crystalline hush.

Layer for extremes
