On what dates is the circle of illumination exactly tangent to the Arctic Circle?
The circle of illumination intersects the North Pole on the spring and autumnal equinoxes, March 20 or 21 and September 22 or 23, when the Earth's North and South Poles are not tilted toward or away from the sun, but are both at 90 degrees to the sun's rays. The sun is directly above the equator, and every location on Earth has 12 hours of daylight.
What is the distance between the Arctic Circle and Iceland?
The state of Kentucky (USA) is located between 36°30'N and 39°9'N. The arctic circle is on 66°33'N. Given the fact that there is 10,000 km from the north pole to the equator (a distance spanning 90°), there must be between 3,043 km and 3,338 km from Kentucky to the arctic circle.
It's about 2,000 miles (3200 km) from central Kentucky to the Arctic Circle.

Reykjavik is at latitude 64°08' N. The Arctic circle is (according to Wikipedia) at approximately 66°
33′39″ (but is drifting North). A degree of latitude is approximately
110km of linear distance. So Reykjavik is less than 330km from the
Arctic circle. Here is a link to a lecture on measurement of latitude,

Why does the sun shine for 24 hours on 21 June in the Arctic Circle?
It is due to the Earth's incline which I think is 24.5 degrees. As the Earth orbits around the Sun, different locations of our planet receive more sunlight, that is why we have seasons. On June 21st, It is the summer solstice, so the Northern Hemisphere receives more sunlight thus it is summer. The Arctic Circle is leaning towards the sun 24 hours so the sun is always present in the horizon.

Why is arctic circle called the land of midnight sun?
The arctic and antarctic regions of the world are tilted much more than the middle regions. Thus, when the earth travels around the sun, they receive either much more sunlight or much less sunlight than other parts. This means that sometimes the sun never leaves the sky or sometimes never comes up.
