Which region of the globe will have light 24 hours a day when the northern hemisphere has its summer solstice?
True, if you're talking about the Northern hemisphere summer solstice, the one in June. In Australia and other places in the southern hemisphere, the "summer solstice" happens in December, and it's the ANTarctic that has the midnight sun. If you're right at the Arctic Circle - for example, in northern Iceland or places in Scandinavia - the day of the summer solstice is the ONLY day of 24-hour sun, and on that day the Sun will dip just to the horizon and then start rising again. Very strange, if you're tired and jet-lagged as I was the first time I was there....
