An interesting phenomenon, but it seems unattractive for players who want to rest.

Russia, now this is being the whole world towards, because it is the 2018 World Cup host, which is currently gathering the top continental teams to compete, heading to the prestigious world gold cup. .

But next to the World Cup, this summer Russia still has an extremely interesting and . annoying point for players. St. Petersburg - where the England team played a resort, the players could not sleep because it was not dark, although it was past 11pm.

The story we are talking about is - or leukemia - one of the characteristic phenomena in the summer in lands of high latitude.

The most unique phenomenon in high latitude cities

Even in Vietnam, you realize that summer has a feature that the Sun sets later, and "wakes up" earlier than usual. "The night of May has not been lit yet, the day of October has not yet laughed yet" - this statement was born because of that.

But in Russia at this stage, the story must be "even lying still bright" , because the Sun here really does not dive. Due to its high latitude, during the summer solstice in June, the Sun could not fall too low under the horizon , making the sky always in a state of ambiguity even though the time was very late.

To be precise, the "white night" is not only in a specific city in Russia, or in Russia itself, but any high latitude land. The closer it is to the North, the stronger the white night, the brighter the sky and the longer the Sun goes down. For example, Iceland, Oslo (Norway), Greenland, Alaska . Even the Arctic has to go through a period when the Sun never sets within 6 months.

However, the most prominent city with white night phenomenon is St. Petersburg .

As one of the cities near the North most, and thanks to that, 11pm at night the Sun has not turned off the sun.The time of the white night begins to reappear from the beginning of May every year, but officially takes place around 11/6 - 2/7.

This is also the first place to host the first White Night Festival.

The city has brought the phenomenon of white night into a romantic culture with Russians, bringing it into poetry and cinema.

In addition, it is also the first place to host the White Night Festival , and is also the most famous festival among the same holidays in the world.
