What is the midnight sun?

The midnight sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs during the summer in places south of the Antarctic Circle and north of the Arctic Circle – including Northern Norway.

 

The earth rotates at a tilted axis relative to the sun  during the summer months, the North Pole is angled towards our star. Hence, for several weeks the sun never sets above the Arctic Circle.
