At the Antarctic Circle, this geography experiences one day of no sunrise/ sunsets each year. South of this line of latitude, the number of days increases to the maximum of six months at the South Pole.

Just as it is - the first word and proper nouns are capitalized. "Would you rather live nearer the Tropic of Capricorn or the Arctic Circle?"
The summer solstice happens. The summer solstice is also the winter solstice in the opposite hemisphere. On the summer solstice (on the northern hemisphere), the northern hemisphere is tilted most to the sun, giving 24 hours of light to the Arctic Circle and 24 hours of darkness to Antarctica on the day of it.
True, if you're talking about the Northern hemisphere summer solstice, the one in June. In Australia and other places in the southern hemisphere, the "summer solstice" happens in December, and it's the ANTarctic that has the midnight sun. If you're right at the Arctic Circle - for example, in northern Iceland or places in Scandinavia - the day of the summer solstice is the ONLY day of 24-hour sun, and on that day the Sun will dip just to the horizon and then start rising again. Very strange, if you're tired and jet-lagged as I was the first time I was there....
First of all, the Arctic Circle is the one at roughly 23.5 degrees North.It ... along with the equator, the Antarctic Circle, and the Tropics of Cancerand Capricorn ... are all parallels of constant latitude.
24 Hours of straight sunlight
Alex Hallett is an English cartoonist who produces the Arctic Circle cartoons. The first one is at the link below.
That completely depends on where you're located. If you're anywhere north of the Arctic Circle, the answer is zero. If you're at the North Pole, then on December 21, you haven't seen the sun in the past three months, and you won't see it for another three.
The USS Nautilus made the first undersea crossing at the North Pole in 1958.
Officially....on the 27th of June 1915 at Fort Yukon. Interestingly, the Kobuk Sand Dunes (which are 40 miles north of the arctic circle!) in Northwestern Alaska can exceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer, according to the National Parks Service website.
It doesn't get dark in St Petersburg, Russia during June and July because of the city's location towards the North Pole. There is still light (called "twilight") after sunset, because of atmospheric effects. That's refraction and, most importantly, the scattering of sunlight by the upper atmosphere. In the summer, at high latitudes, the Sun is never far below the horizon.
