Where and when to enjoy the midnight sun at nordkapp!

#northerneurope
Nordkapp is located in the northernmost part of mainland Europe, making it an ideal spot to witness the midnight sun.

The midnight sun phenomenon occurs because of the Earth's tilt and its orbit around the sun.
During the summer months, the Arctic region, including Nordkapp, is tilted towards the sun, resulting in extended daylight hours.

The best time to experience the midnight sun at Nordkapp (North Cape) is between mid-May and the end of July. During this period, the sun remains visible above the horizon, even at midnight, creating an ethereal glow that bathes the Arctic landscape in 24-hour daylight, according to Hurtigruten.

Where to experience it:
- Nordkapp Plateau: This dramatic plateau on the island of Magerøya is the most iconic location to witness the midnight sun.

- Gjesvær: The historical fishing village of Gjesvær is another excellent spot to experience the midnight sun, according to Visit Nordkapp.

Enjoy this astonishing phenomena!
