You're tougher than I am...
or should I say mellower. I could stay for the summer during Nov. through Jan. to check out the sky views especially the auroras, but the 9 months when you are totally isolated I would go stir crazy. I have a hard enough time staying indoors on consecutive rainy days. I would be such a menace they would probably put me in a straight jacket and chain me to the floor to protect me from escaping outside only to become a frozen human action figure.
