White Nights


If you look at this picture, you will be greatly confused: is it day or night? Believe it or not, it is night, white night in Saint Petersburg. White nights are a natural phenomenon which occurs in areas with the latitude of 60°. During 2-3 weeks, around the solstice (in the northern hemisphere – in June; in the southern hemisphere – in December), “sunsets are late, sunrises are early and darkness is never complete”. The places, where you can see those most of all, are, of course, Russia, Finland, Island, Greenland, Sweden, Norway, and Canada. In Russia, especially in Saint Petersburg, during this period many festival and street festivities take place.
