Strange things in the sun did not set for 2 months

Due to its special geographic location, the city experiences "sunrise in the middle of the night" during the summer months.

About 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle, it is the city of Tromsø located in the northeast of Norway - home to strange things thanks to its special geographical position.

Here, the winter lasts from November to January, which is also the time when the sun does not appear making the day almost sunk in the dark.

This is a great time to see the "aurora" natural phenomena being bands of colored light twinkling in the sky. As a result, Tromsø as well as some other cities in Northern Europe welcomed large numbers of visitors to see this special strip of light.

After that, the time of day will increase gradually until sunrise in the middle of the night. It is from late May to July, the sun will not set for 2 months. And then the cycle goes on repeating every year.
