"Norway's is called Land of Midnight Sun.
Because country's high latitude, there
are large seasonal variatiions in day-light.
From late May to late July, the Sun never
completely descends beneath the horizon in
area north of the arctic circle, hence Norway's
description as the "land of the Midnight Sun",
and area experiences upto 20 hours of daylight
per day. Conversely, from late November to
to late January, the Sun never rises above the
horizan in the north and day light hours are
very short."
Many of us might be knowing as" Norway experiences
six months night and six months Day in a year. But
above descriptions update the knowledge.
