Description

Midnight sun around Sunset at Hjalteyri in Eyjafjordur near Akureyri North Iceland EU Europe

Hjalteyri is a tiny fishing village in northern Iceland in the Norðurland eystra region.

Hjalteyri has 43 inhabitants and was the largest settlement in the former municipality of Arnarneshreppur before it merged to become part of Hörgársveit. Hjalteyri is on the west bank of the Eyjafjörður fjord and is one of the major fishing ports in the region

The midnight sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs in the summer months in places north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle, when the sun remains visible at the local midnight. When the midnight sun is seen in the Arctic, the sun appears to move from left to right
The peak of Iceland's Midnight Sun is around the summer solstice, usually the 21st of June.
From May to August, nighttime has daylight in Iceland, although the sun sets just before midnight.
The days are long during the summertime in Iceland. Although the Midnight Sun peaks in June, Iceland’s nights are bright as early as May and as late as August.

This brightness is due to Iceland's proximity to the Arctic Circle. The Arctic Circle does cross over Iceland - just - incorporating Grímsey island at the northernmost tip of Iceland.

As the Arctic Circle’s latitude starts at around 66.5°N, and Reykjavik’s is located at 64.1°N, the sun will still set in Iceland throughout the summer.

However, this will only leave Iceland with a few hours of bright civil twilight in the height of summer until full daylight resumes once more.

‘Civil twilight’ is a scientific term given for the period of time the sun is only a few degrees below the horizon.

At the height of Iceland’s summer, it doesn’t get remotely dark across the island
