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.
