The Midnight Sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs during two weeks around Summer Solstice where the sun never sets, offering a magical and surreal experience.

Even during broader period from mid-May to late July the sun remains visible in the sky for almost 24 hours a day, with the skies lit up around the clock. This happens because Iceland is located near the Arctic Circle, where the Earth's tilt causes the sun to stay above the horizon even at midnight.

Instead of complete darkness, you'll witness a beautiful, soft twilight that bathes the landscape in a golden glow. It's an ideal time for outdoor activities like hiking, sightseeing, and exploring the stunning Icelandic scenery, as you have more daylight to enjoy the country.

The Midnight Sun is especially prominent in the northern parts of Iceland, such as Akureyri and the Westfjords, where the phenomenon is most intense.
