Type your answer here... because greenland is above the Arctic Circle
Every place that's less than about 1,620 miles from either the north pole or the south
pole has one occasion during the year when the sun stays up for more than 24 hours.
The closer you are to one of the poles, the longer that period is, and if you're exactly
AT either the north pole or the south pole, the sun stays up for 6 months.
In the northern hemisphere, that area includes a little more than half of Greenland,
a little less than half of Alaska, and large parts of Canada, Russia, Norway, Sweden,
and Finland.
All of that area is the 'Land of the Midnight Sun', because there's at least one
midnight during the year when the sun is up, and the closer to the pole you are,
the more consecutive midnights there are when the sun is up.

"Yes" is not an answer.
Norway is the land of the midnight sun because part of it is within the Arctic Circle. Such places experience times when the sun never sets completely (because that part of the Earth at such times is tilted more towards the Sun) and thus benefits from more hours of sunlight.
Similarly places in the Antarctic Circle experience the same phenomenon roughly 6 months later when that part of Earth is tilted towards the Sun.
This is all due to the fact that the Earth is tilted on its axis.
