Geography
Places With Constant Daylight or Darkness
Did you know that certain parts of the world experience continuous daylight or darkness for extended periods, known as the Midnight Sun and Polar Night?
Above the Arctic Circle in the Northern Hemisphere and below the Antarctic Circle in the Southern Hemisphere, residents experience these fascinating phenomena due to the tilt of the Earth’s axis.
During summer months, regions like Barrow, Alaska, and Tromsø, Norway, enjoy the Midnight Sun, where the sun remains visible at midnight and can shine for up to 24 hours a day.
Conversely, in winter, these areas face Polar Night, where the sun doesn’t rise above the horizon, plunging them into darkness for extended periods.
This unique experience challenges the conventional rhythm of day and night, shaping the cultural and daily life of those who live in these extreme environments.
