SNOW BLINDNESS
Snow blindness is an illness involving your eyes. It tends to be caused by UV lights or sun light that reflects off snow or ice. Snow blindness is temporary loss of vision and inflamation of the conjuntive and cornea,caused by exposure of the eyes to bright lunlight or ultra violet rays reflected from snow or ice.

A similar situation to snow blindness is white out.White out is another word for the night in tundra climate.The night in the artic circle ,and many other places closley related,lasts for six months but that also means you cannot tell the diffrence between the sky and the ground.I would not recommend watching this film if under 15 it involves as it is not appropiate for younger veiwers.

A test to check your risk level:

Do you spend long periods of time in the sun? Do you have a tanning bed? Have you been skiing or snowboarding lately without protective glasses?

The more you answer yes the more at risk you are to have snow blindness. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Celestia_sun.jpg#mediaviewer/File:Celestia_sun.jpg
