This phenomenon is known in science as the “midnight sun”. It is found in areas south and north of the Arctic Circle.

There is a place in northern Europe where the sun hardly ever sets. It is located in Norway. In some parts of this country the sun shines 24 hours a day. The Daily Mail writes about it.

“The longest period of time when the sun literally does not set is experienced by the inhabitants of the Norwegian archipelago Svalbard – the “midnight sun” here “hangs” over the heads of local residents from April 20 to August 22, ” said the scientists.

According to British travel photographer George Cooper, who captured the phenomenon from a drone in the Lofoten Islands and other parts of Norway, sunlight floods the Norwegian landscape at various intervals of the night from 11 pm to 3 am .

“The Earth rotates around its axis, which is tilted relative to the Sun, and during the summer months the North Pole turns toward it. That is why for several weeks the sun literally does not set on beyond the Arctic Circle, which means that residents of some territories see a kind of long sunset, which smoothly flows into the sunrise. You can see this amazing natural phenomenon through your own eyes by visiting Svalbard, the Lofoten Islands, as well as the city of Bodo, North Cape, Tromso and some other places However, you can see the “midnight sun” not only in Norway, the phenomenon can also can be observed in some parts of Alaska, Greenland and Canada,” the scientists added.

Recall that earlier the NASA SDO apparatus detected a powerful burst of plasma on the Sun. This process, according to scientists, caused problems on Earth.
