The White nights
The White Nights describes the few weeks around the summer solstice in June in areas of high latitude during which sunsets are late, sunrises are early and darkness is never complete.
The Land of the Midnight Sun
The midnight sun is a natural phenomenon occurring in summer months at latitudes north of the Arctic Circle.
Given fair weather, the sun is visible for a continuous 24 hours, mostly north of the Arctic Circle.
A quarter of Finland's territory lies north of the Arctic Circle and at the country's northernmost point the sun does not set for 73 days during summer. Many find it difficult to fall asleep during the night when the sun is shining, but dont worry we offer lot of things to do also at night. Try for example midnight rafting in Kukkolaraft.
