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.

Good to know

The globe plateau charges admission and the road can close for weather. Solar midnight falls between 00:13 and 00:24 local time, depending on the date.

The dates are those with the whole disc above the sea horizon, as in the official calendar (14 May – 29 July). Counting the upper edge alone, the midnight sun shows 2–3 days longer at each end (11 May – 1 August).

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.
