Imagine, the day never ends and you don’t know when to sleep or when to wake up. This is probably far from reality for you, however, there are places where the sun never sets. Here are six of them.
1. Norway
Situated in the Arctic Circle, Norway is called the Land of the Midnight Sun. For about a period of 76 days from May to late July, the sun never sets. The bright sunlight engulfs the entire region for about 20 hours a day.
In Svalbard, Norway, which is the northern-most inhabited region of Europe, the sun shines continuously from April 10 to August 23. Visit the region and live for days, for there is no night. Don’t forget to get a peek of the northern lights when visiting.
2. Iceland
A beautiful country, Iceland is Europe’s largest island after Great Britain. Iceland gets sunlight from May 10 through July, where the sun is above the horizon all the time.
Besides the breathtaking northern lights, the country offers various delightful activities like hiking, wildlife watching, whale watching, caving, cycling and visiting the national parks.
3. Canada
The world’s second-largest country, several parts of Canada is covered with snow all through the year. In places like Inuvik and the Northwest territories, the sun shines for about 50 days in summer.
Here’s a list of things you should do when in Canada: go for Aurora viewing, mountaineering, hot springs, suspension bridge walk, road trips on the world’s second-largest stretches and a lot of historical monuments. Sounds like fun, isn’t it?
4. Alaska
The sun doesn’t set in the country of Alaska from late May to late July. Beautiful and breathtaking, the country is in darkness in the harsh months of winter.
