Basically anywhere away from the equator changes the ratio of day to night for each 24 hr period, and the Arctic and Antarctic circles at about 660 latitude are special cases. There, the sun does not set or rise for one or more days a year, the number of days at a time increasing as you get closer to the poles where the sun stays up for 6 months a year, and stays set for the other 6 months (approximately). Hence, the phrase "land of the midnight sun".
What else can I help you with?
Are the longest days always in the summer?
No, not necessarily. It is the longest day and it is when the solar declination is greatest, however that does not necessarily make it the hottest day. The hottest time of year is typically a month or two after the solstice after the land, and especially water, has heated enough to heat the air above it the most.

After Summer Solstice, the daylight gradually gets shorter, to the shortest day and longest night in December. In the Southern Hemisphere, Winter Solstice (and shortest day and longest night) are in June, while the Summer Solstice is in December.
