Midnight sun in Lofoten

What happens

There is no line to hit: the sun simply does not set. At its lowest, around solar midnight, its upper edge stays above the sea horizon.

Where to stand

Viewpoint: Uttakleiv · Lofoten, Uttakleiv / Haukland
68.21700, 13.52300

It works across an area around this point, not only from the exact spot.

Good to know

Uttakleiv and Haukland beaches face north over open sea. Solar midnight between 01:02 and 01:13 local time, depending on the date; small car parks.

Pure geometry, computed with the sun’s upper limb on the sea horizon. Tourist dates vary by 2–3 days because some count the whole disc; high ground to the north shortens the period.

Dates for 2026–2030, worked out by Duskbox’s own astronomy engine: the sun from NREL’s SPA, the moon topocentric, both with atmospheric refraction.
