Have you ever heard about the Midnight
Sun? It's a phenomenon that occurs in the proximity of the Arctic
and Antarctic circle where the sun does
not set at night. Is the contrast to the
polar nights, where the sun keeps hidden below the horizon. Sounds like magic? It feels like it.

Lapland is situated on the Arctic circle
and enjoys both periods. The Midnight Sun happens during the summer months, while the Polar Nights take place during
winter.
The Midnight sun allows you to enjoy incredibly
long sunsets observing the sun coming down until the horizon but staying there
during the night. This gives Lapland endless days and light to enjoy the
nature, or summer festivals as the Midnight Sun Film Festival.
In Ruka-Kuusamo we celebrate the beginning
of the summer period as well! In the Ruka and Kuusamo Midsummer fest you can enjoy
traditional Finnish music or dance all night long!
But for those who prefer the relaxation of
our landscapes and the wildlife, there is plenty to do as well. The Midnight
Sun period is perfect for wildlife watching. The constant light helps to spot
the Moose or the Bear, and the nature is just so alive that you will feel like
in the middle of nowhere : just the nature and you.
