Around Midsummer in northern Finland, the sun does not set for several weeks. In Utsjoki, for example, a single, long summer day lasts for over two months. Even in the south, the ’night’ consists of a period of prolonged twilight rather than real darkness.

District Latitude Midnight sun
Utsjoki 69°52' May 16 - July 27
Ivalo 68°40' May 22 - July 21
Sodankylä 67°25' May 29 - July 14
Rovaniemi 66°30' June 6 - July 7
Kuusamo 65°59' June 12 - June 30
Kemi 65°45' June 18- June 24

Northern Lights

It’s no wonder that ancient theories about the phenomenon known as the Aurora Borealis varied from the wrath of invisible gods to fires sparked by the waving of a mythical foxes tail, the latter explanation accounting for the Finnish word for the Aurora, fox’s fires or ‘revontulet’. The magical displays of shifting coloured light are strange and beautiful enough to transcend their scientific explanation, which says that the Northern Lights are caused by matter, or solar wind, from solar storms colliding with the Earth’s atmosphere. The occurrence of flares on the surface of the sun makes it possible to predict the liveliness of the Northern Lights in areas in which they are common such as northern Finland, where they may be visible on clear nights up to 200 times a year. The Aurora is also visible in the south, including Helsinki, in areas of low light pollution as many as 20 times a year.
