Midnight sun causes daylight swings in north
The phenomenon of the midnight sun, where the sun remains visible at midnight during the summer months, leads to significant daylight swings in northern regions. This natural occurrence is most prominent in areas above the Arctic Circle, such as parts of Alaska, Norway, and Finland. During the summer solstice, these regions experience continuous daylight, which can last for several weeks. This extended period of sunlight has profound effects on the environment, influencing plant growth, animal behavior, and human activities.
