Which Country Is Known as the "Land of the Midnight Sun"?

Norway is famously called the "Land of the Midnight Sun."

Located in northern Europe, much of Norway lies above the Arctic Circle. During the summer months—roughly June to August—the sun remains visible at midnight in these northern regions, creating weeks of continuous daylight. This phenomenon occurs because the Earth's axial tilt keeps the Arctic facing the sun throughout the summer solstice period.

The term is also sometimes applied to other high-latitude regions (like parts of Sweden, Finland, Russia, Canada, and Alaska), but Norway is the country most commonly associated with the nickname due to its extensive coastline and populated areas within the Arctic Circle, such as Tromsø and the North Cape.
