So, we stopped trying to get ourselves out of the deep snow at about 4am (after also watching some amazing Northern Lights) and slept a few hours. 8am we continued digging and finally managed to get moving just before lunch time. We passed the deep snow, stopped to realize and celebrate, and the car decided to stop. Impossible to start it again. After a while trying everything we could think of, I remembered hearing about that trick when you gently hammer the starter while trying to start the car... worked wonders!!! And at that point, a Nissan Patrol on SPAM tires came out of nowhere, after spending 12 hours or so not seeing a soul... Although a little sad it didn't come earlier to pull us out (of our misery one could say) we were very happy it made a nice track for us to follow, otherwise we would probably have had to turn back.
