Land of the Midnight Sun
Land of the Midnight Sun
On June 21, summer solstice, the sun never sets in some parts of Yukon. All over the Territory you can read a book, paddle a canoe, or fish outdoors all night. The midnight sun makes for long summer days, and wondrous carmine and magenta skyscapes that last for hours, rather than minutes. Yukoners fill up their batteries, take in a little extra vitamin D and take advantage of this light to enjoy their favourite outdoor activities. It truly makes up for the longer, dark, days of winter.
