Partying under the midsummer Arctic sun — unless you’re a worm
Around the Arctic Circle during the summer, there’s no need for the saying “I wish this day would never end” — because for a few months, the days don’t. During the period known in some places as “white nights,” the sun barely sets. It just dips down briefly below the horizon before popping back into the sky. Night is replaced with twilight. In more northerly places, the midnight sun, as it’s called, remains visible 24 hours a day.
