At the summer solstice, the sun is as far north in the sky as it will get - at noon the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer.
The Arctic Circle has 24 hours of sunlight.

Anything above the Arctic Circle has 24 hours of daylight and the Sun appears directly overhead on the Tropic of Cancer. The exact opposite occurs along the tropic of Capricorn and the Anarctic Circle during the Winter in the Northern Hemisphere.

The Northern arctic circle does not see night (the sun does not set) and the tropic of cancer has the sun directly overhead at noon, local time, at the time of the summer solstice.
