Because of the way the Earth is tilted and orbits around the sun there are some places that experience 24 hour sunlight for part of the year and 24 hour darkness during other parts of the year.

In the Northern Hemisphere this happens anywhere north of the Arctic Circle (67.5 degrees north latitude) and in summer there is 24 hour daylight and in winter there's 24 hour darkness. The further north you go the longer the unbroken poeriod of light or dark becomes.

In the southern hemisphere the same happens but at opposite times of the year.
