Midnight Sun
In summer the nights in the Lapland are bright because of the magical Midnight Sun. For a month in June and July the sun does not sink below horizon at all. Whole this time the sun hangs low over the horizon, casting light day and night over the striking Lapp scenery. The days grows rapidly longer after the vernal equinox around 23rd March when the day and night are as long in Lapland.
It is hard to imagine anything more beautiful than the Lappish scenery from the top of the fell in the cloudless summer night. It is no wonder that Lapland is called the land of the Midnight Sun.
