If Muslims can only eat and drink when the sun is down during Ramadan, what do Muslims in countries such as Greenland, Iceland and Norway do as the sun is up nearly 24 hours a day (at the moment=during Ramadan)?? Do they have to cram it all in about half an hour at 3 in the morning before the sun appears again?

Ramadan is at a time of the year when there is not daylight 24/7 in those places. There are several hours of dark here at night during Ramadan, so I don't think it's a problem.

at the moment it is winter in the northern hemisphere. so in Greenland, Iceland etc, the sun will be down for the majority of the day. its during june/july august time that you get the midnight sun in these areas.

i read that if you are a moslem from an arab country, for example, stick to the hours of fasting in the country you come from.
i went through this when i was in one of the cities where the sun sets in the west and appears in a minute in the east.
i asked, and my co-patriots told me to follow the fasting hours back home.
islam always facilitates matters for moslems.

Fasting is from sunrise till sunset. If the sun in some countries does not set then they do not have to fast. It is that simple!
