Did you know that there are places across the world where the sun does not go down for more 2 months?
Sweden
From early May until late August, Sweden sees the sun setting around midnight and rising at around 4 AM in the country. Here, the time period of constant sunshine might last for up to six months of a year. So when here, one can spend long days by indulging in adventurous activities, by going out for golfing, fishing, exploring trekking trails, and much more.
Nunavut, Canada

“Our last sunrise was at 2:30 a.m. this past Sunday, and our next sunset won’t be until July 20,” Inuvik tourism department manager Jackie Challis told ABC News channel.
Iceland
Iceland is Europe’s largest island after Great Britain, and is also known for being the country that has no mosquitoes. During summers, nights are clear in Iceland, whereas during the month of June, the sun actually never sets. To see the Midnight Sun in its full glory, you can visit the city of Akureyri and Grimsey Island in the Arctic Circle.
Barrow, Alaska
Located on the Arctic Ocean, Utqiaġvik (Barrow) is one of the largest Iñupiaq settlements in Alaska. It’s also the northernmost community in the United States. Its extreme location means Utqiaġvik receives 24 hour daylight from May 12 – August 2 and 24 hour darkness from November 18 – January 23.
Finland
The land of thousand lakes and islands, most parts of Finland get to see the sun straight for just 73 days during summers. During this time, the sun continues to shine for around 73 days, whereas, during the winter time, this region sees no sunlight. It is also one of the reasons why people here sleep less in summer, and more during winters. When here, you get to enjoy the Northern Lights and also get the opportunity to indulge in skiing and experience the feel of staying in glass igloos.
