Catch the rays of the midnight sun
The sun will be low in the sky around midnight, casting a stunning yellow glow upon the shoreline, cities and villages, jagged mountain forms, and apparently endless inland plateaus. It may occasionally hide behind a cloud or a lofty mountain, but it never sets. The midnight sun descends over Norway's north in the summer, bathing the countryside in a warm glow all night. The phenomena happens because to the tilt of the earth as it circles the sun and can last anywhere from a few weeks in Bod to a few months in Longyearbyen.
Nothing but open water separates you from, Svalbard, and then the North Pole, from atop the sheer cliff leading into the sea at The North Cape, as the sun hovers on the horizon all night. Because the cliff is officially on an island and is not even its northernmost point, it is incorrectly referred to be the northernmost point on the European continent. Nonetheless, it is a more popular destination than the real location, Cape Nordkinn, which lies a bit further east.
The city of Bod is located just north of the Arctic Circle. It's crammed between mountains, hills, and the sea, as is customary up here. From the easily accessible Rnvikfjellet ridge, you can see the midnight sun over the city center, the unique, mountainous island Landegode with its astounding 42 residents, and all the way over the Vestfjord to the Lofoten archipelago. The brains behind the rest area beside the little Lofoten fishing community of Eggum are none other than Snhetta, the designers of the Oslo Opera House and numerous other famous structures across the world. This amphitheatre-shaped pavilion, featuring art by Markus Raetz, provides a free view of the open sea. The Lofoten Islands are one of Norway's most recognized natural attractions, and the midnight sun may be seen from a variety of positions around the archipelago.
