Around the Earth's poles there is a region called the Arctic or the Antarctic where there is a period of weeks or months during which the Sun never rises. At places just beyond the Arctic and Antarctic circles the period is quite short, for example six weeks at Harstad, Norway which is 200km north of the Arcric circle. Near the poles the period is nearer six months.
