Type your answer here... because greenland is above the Arctic Circle

Every place that's less than about 1,620 miles from either the north pole or the south

pole has one occasion during the year when the sun stays up for more than 24 hours.

The closer you are to one of the poles, the longer that period is, and if you're exactly

AT either the north pole or the south pole, the sun stays up for 6 months.

In the northern hemisphere, that area includes a little more than half of Greenland,

a little less than half of Alaska, and large parts of Canada, Russia, Norway, Sweden,

and Finland.

All of that area is the 'Land of the Midnight Sun', because there's at least one

midnight during the year when the sun is up, and the closer to the pole you are,

the more consecutive midnights there are when the sun is up.
