  1. That is above the arctic circle as the sun never sets.

  2. I am almost finished with the NETFLIX series "The Vikings." I have never been to either Greenland or Iceland so seeing Iceland depicted as a baren volcanic island was interesting.

  3. Filmed mid-summer in the Canadian tundra. Clip taken from episode 1 ("Pole to Pole") of David Attenborough's "Planet Earth" series.

  4. During the “Age of the Vikings” - 850-1250 AD the earth was a lot warmer and both Greenland and Iceland were not as cold and intemperate which resulted in the Vikings expanding their settlements and influence..

    1. Oh My Gawd!!! You mean there was "global warming" back in the ancient times of our planet? And the world did not come to an end back then as it most likely not come to an end this time.

  6. I worked in Hall Beach Nunavut, two degrees above the Arctic Circle, during July-August in 1988. Your body clock gets all out of whack, I would be unable to fall asleep for two or three nights then I would collapse for 10-12hrs and the cycle would repeat. At 2am you walk out of the bar and the sun hits you right in the eyes and children are riding their bicycles.
    The converse is that in December, you get onto the ramp at 6am under the northern lights, sunrise is about 9am, at 4pm you're watching the northern lights again and the days high temperature was -25F.

  9. Does the same below the antarctic circle except the sun appears to move the other direction, being to the north at noon instead of south.

    1. It's been the ruin of many a poor boy, and God, I know, I'm one.
