No day lasts 6 months in the northern hemisphere. A day is 24 hours, with the exception of days where the hour changes, in which case you have a 23 hour day when the clocks go forward and a 25 hour day when the clocks go back. What you are probably referring to is the length of daylight. Around the Arctic, the Sun does not set for very long periods of time. At the North Pole it can be up for 6 months and down for 6 months. So the answer you are looking for is the North Pole.
