The North Pole
In the
northern hemisphere,
the Arctic includes the
Arctic Ocean
(which overlies the North Pole) and parts of
Canada,
Greenland
(a territory of
Denmark),
Russia,
the
United States
(Alaska),
Iceland,
Norway,
Sweden
and
Finland.
The sun rises at the North Pole on the Spring Equinox,
approximately March 21, and the sun rises higher in the
sky with each advancing day, reaching a maximum height
at the Summer Solstice, approximately June 21. |
|
In Summer, the North Pole stays in
full sunlight all day long throughout the entire summer
(unless there are clouds), and this is the reason that
the Arctic is called the land of the "Midnight
Sun". After the Summer
Solstice, the sun starts to sink towards the horizon. |
|
At
the Autumn Equinox, approximately September 21, the sun
sinks below the horizon, and the North Pole is in
twilight until early October, after which it is in full
darkness for the Winter.
|
| |

Shadows
cast in May are long,
because the sun is low in the sky.
|
|

In June,
near the Summer Solstice, the shadows are short, the
sun is higher in the sky.
