Midnight sun: where you can see it


post-title

Where you can see the midnight sun, an astronomical phenomenon of particular interest concerning the territories located beyond the polar circle.


Midnight sun in the North Cape

In Northern Norway, on the northern tip of the island of Magerya, there is the North Cape which is famous for being the northernmost point of continental Europe and is one of the favorite destinations for tourists who love adventure travel.

It is a promontory overlooking the sea, for a height of just over three hundred meters.


Here in summer, in the period from May to June, due to the inclination of the rotation axis of the earth, the sun never sets, giving rise to what is commonly called the "midnight sun", while in winter , for over two months, it remains late at night.

In winter, but only in some areas of the Antarctic polar circle, the opposite phenomenon occurs, known as the "polar night".

The midnight sun often affects the human body, causing disordered behavior in some individuals and anxiety states in the most sensitive people.
