Mike Riggs’s light design presents an effective interplay between realism and artifice. Inside the hut, the lights are powered by a generator and fade as scenes progress. Frequent patches of sunlight add a stark contrast to the normally frigid tones outisde. A quick glimpse of the northern lights, breathtakingly rendered, creates a greenish, surreal effect.
