As of today, peak season now, through ~July 5. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.
The midnight sun is an astronomical polar-day phenomenon when the Sun stays above the horizon at local midnight.
In the Utsjoki municipality (northern Finnish Lapland) this produces continuous daylight for weeks to months, with the longest local period at Nuorgam.
The timing is determined by latitude, atmospheric refraction, the Sun's apparent diameter, and the date of the summer solstice.
