Midnight Sun Viewing
Experiencing the phenomenon of the sun remaining above the horizon at midnight, casting golden light across Arctic and sub-Arctic landscapes in the summer months — the counterpart to the polar night's northern lights. The midnight sun creates extraordinary long golden-hour photography conditions that can last for hours, and the psychological experience of perpetual daylight is simultaneously beautiful and disorienting. Nordkapp in Norway, Abisko in Sweden, and Reykjavik in Iceland are the most accessible places to witness this phenomenon.
