On the day of the Northern Summer Solstice, June 21st, the geographic North Pole
receives 24 hours of sunlight. (The Sun moves around the horizon in a circle.)
=========================
The first answer, above, hardly captures what's actually going on up there.
Every place on Earth that's anywhere north of the Arctic Circle has the sun up in
the sky for at least 24 hours, with June 21 right in the middle. The farther north
you are, the longer the sun is up in your sky.
At the north pole, the sun is above the horizon, going around and around the sky,
constantly and continuously, for 6 months, from March 21 until September 21.
And June 21 is right in the middle.
