The midnight sun will never set
The midnight sun, which can be observed anywhere above the Arctic Circle in summer, features high on the list of most travellers to Norway.
What is it all about? At that latitude, the sun doesn’t set during the summer months, so one can, given fair weather; see the sun for a continuous 24 hours.
– Come to Norway this summer and you will witness nature’s own gala performance. In the winter the northernmost parts of Norway tempt travellers with the Northern Lights but during the summer months the Midnight Sun is a unique nature experience you don’t want to miss, says the director of tourism in Norway, Per-Arne Tuftin.
See the light
The North Cape is considered by many to be the best spot in Norway to go watch the midnight sun. As continental Europe’s northernmost point, at latitude 71°10°21°, the North Cape is a special place. The Lofoten and Vesterålenislands also offer many opportunities, while Hammerfest, ‘the world’s northernmost town’, and Tromsø are good alternatives for those preferring a more ‘urban’ setting.
Tee off into the night
Not surprisingly, those who are shone upon by the midnight sun will immediately glimmer with the true spirit of enterprise. Yet nature offers a lot of exciting activities: What about teeing off under the midnight sun at the world’s northernmost 18-hole golf course. Are you the sporty type you might want to join the world’s northernmost marathon arranged every year inTromsø, where runners from around the world meet to compete at night, but in broad daylight – courtesy of the midnight sun.
Another excellent way to experience the arctic nature in Northern Norway is to hike in midnight sun. The unique light lends the mountains a magical glow late in the evening or early in the morning – perfect for those seeking solitude.
The fish bite best at night, according to local lore. So going fishing in the midnight sun is not just a great way to take in the special light, it is most definitely a good time to catch fish too.
Whatever you choose, Norway is powered by nature both night and day, just waiting to make your dream come true.
