Where is the land of the midnight sun?


During the summer, the sun does not set above the Arctic Circle. In fact, this phenomenon is what helps to define the Arctic Circle. Like the equator, the Arctic Circle is an imaginary line. It's defined as the latitude above which the sun does not set on the day of the summer solstice (usually around June 21).

North of the Arctic Circle, periods of constant sunshine last for up to six months of the year at the North Pole. The opposite is also true for parts of the year, though. Above the Arctic Circle, the sun never rises on the day of the winter solstice (usually around December 21).

The regions with areas within or that border with Arctic Circle are called the land of the midnight sun. Examples are northernmost parts of Canada, Greenland, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Alaska, and Iceland.

The Arctic Circle is the most northerly of the abstract five major circles of latitude marked on the map of Earth.
