Travel: In Finland, the fascinating phenomenon of the midnight sun

In Finland, especially in Lapland beyond the Arctic Circle, the sun does not set between late May and late July, creating continuous daylight. This phenomenon transforms daily life: residents have picnics at midnight, children play late, and outdoor activities like fishing and kayaking are available 24/7. Photographers enjoy extended golden hour light. However, the constant light disrupts sleep, requiring blackout curtains. In winter, these areas experience total darkness during polar night.
