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.
