Extended Daylight and Midnight Sun Phenomenon in Northern Norway

Northern Norway experiences the natural phenomenon of the midnight sun, where the sun remains visible for extended periods during summer. In Tromsø, daylight lasts for about 69 days, creating continuous light that affects daily life and sleep patterns. The region also undergoes polar night in winter, with prolonged darkness. Other areas like North Cape and the Lofoten Islands also experience extended daylight or twilight periods due to their Arctic location and Earth's axial tilt.
