A stag with wide antlers stands in deep blue moonlit snow at the centre of a winter forest. Behind it a large pale blue moon is ringed by concentric dashes of blue and silver. Bare cobalt birch trunks frame the scene, a string of yellow paper stars is hung between two of them, and a quorum of owls watches from the branches while foxes and rabbits sit in the snow below.

A musher in a red parka drives a team of six sled dogs across pale blue snowfields at night. Behind them a snow-covered volcanic peak rises above a dark treeline, a green and rose aurora ribbons across a star-filled sky, a snowy owl flies at the right, and a white hare sits in the foreground snow.

Three spotted narwhals swim through deep blue water beneath a split waterline. Above the surface, snow-covered peaks and floating ice sit under a green and violet aurora in a starry sky. Below it, swirling ribbons of tiny silver fish curl around the narwhals and their long spiral tusks.
