During the summer, the sun does not set at all at the Arctic Circle. It provides the area with wonderful experiences of the midnight sun.

During the winter months, the situation at the Arctic Circle is the opposite: during the polar night, there is at least one day when the sun does not rise above the horizon. The unique polar night creates a special atmosphere in the north. Deep dark blue light reflects on the snow while the northern lights shine in the sky. Despite the darkness of winter, the days quickly start to lengthen towards spring in Rovaniemi, and by March they are already longer than in Southern Europe.
