Why does the sun never set in parts of Norway? ????????☀️
In Northern Norway, summer brings one of the most incredible natural phenomena on Earth: the Midnight Sun.
Above the Arctic Circle, the sun can remain above the horizon for 24 hours a day during part of the summer. The further north you travel, the longer this phenomenon lasts.
But why does this happen?
The answer is Earth's tilted axis. During Northern Hemisphere summer, the North Pole is tilted toward the Sun, allowing areas above the Arctic Circle to experience continuous daylight.
From Tromsø and the Lofoten Islands to the North Cape and Svalbard, the Midnight Sun transforms nighttime into a golden Arctic landscape.
Imagine hiking, fishing, kayaking, or simply watching the sun at midnight — without darkness.
Discover the science behind Norway's Midnight Sun and the fascinating reason why the sun can stay above the horizon all night.
