At latitudes greater than 66.5622° north (the Arctic Circle), during the summer, when the Earth's axis is tilted toward the sun, there are nights where the sun never goes below the horizon. In northern Finland, this lasts for several weeks around the summer solstice. This is a popular time for tourists to visit Finland, as this is also the season when the weather is mildest and there are special tours, particularly to Rovaniemi, a city exactly on the Arctic Circle in the province of Lapland.
