Arctic Midnight Sun

The midnight sun is a natural phenomenon occurring in summer months at latitudes north and nearby to the south of the Arctic Circle, and south and nearby to the north of the Antarctic Circle where the sun remains visible at the local midnight. Given fair weather, the sun is visible for a continuous 24 hours, mostly north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle. The number of days per year with potential midnight sun increases the farther poleward one goes.

The opposite phenomenon, polar night, occurs in winter when the sun stays below the horizon throughout the day.

This video would be a lot cooler if it didn't keep looping and playing the same footage after 25 seconds. I feel ripped off.

What latitude is this ? Above 70 maybe as sunset quite high above horizon. And amazing to get sun all day, as the Arctic is often cloudy.

Well fuck me! Watched this whole thing thinking the sun was up for 4 days or something.

This video could as well just mention that it loops the same part.
