Folks who live in the far northern and far southern reaches of our planet get to experience a yearly phenomenon that the rest of us will never see in our neck of the woods: the midnight sun.

What is the midnight sun? Well, it’s just that – during the peak summer time the sun never completely sets for a period ranging from several weeks to several months, depending on the latitude.

That means the sun is visible 24 hours a day, even at midnight. Instead of setting, the sun appears to circle the Earth just above the horizon. 

If you’ve never had the opportunity to witness the dance of midnight sun in person, here’s your chance to see it via the magic of time-lapse video. The photos that were used to create this time-lapse were taken at 15 second intervals.

Watch, and enjoy…
