June 21st is summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere, on that day everywhere north of the Arctic Circle experiences 'midnight sun' which happens to places near the top of the world.

during this time the sun never sets below the horizon because of the Earths tilt toward the sun.

Reykjavik is almost as far north as the Arctic Circle and although the sun sets for a couple of hours it remains light all night around the summer solstice.
