<p><strong>This extraordinary natural phenomenon, known as the 'midnight sun', is a time when the sun stays up all night long.&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>This happens from late May to early August in some Icelandic towns. It's like the day never ends.</p>

<h2><strong>The 5 Icelandic towns where the night never falls</strong></h2>

<p>Let’s take a look at five towns in Iceland - Akureyri, Ísafjörður, Landmannalaugar, Myvatn, and Reykjavík. Each of these places has its own special way of enjoying the sun that never sets.</p>

<p>Nestled in the north of Iceland, Akureyri, often called the 'Capital of North Iceland', enjoys the midnight sun from early June to late July. This charming town becomes a hub of vibrant energy, with locals and tourists alike soaking in the endless daylight. Imagine strolling through Akureyri's botanical gardens under a sun that never sets, or exploring the town's rich cultural scene - from art museums to cosy cafes, all basked in continuous sunlight.</p>

<h3><strong>2. Ísafjörður</strong></h3>

<p>Ísafjörður, a picturesque town in the Westfjords, experiences the midnight sun from late May to mid-July. This town is a haven for nature lovers. The unending daylight illuminates its stunning fjords, creating breathtaking views ideal for hiking and boat tours. The unique light conditions add a magical touch to the town's quaint streets and historic buildings, making Ísafjörður a photographer's dream during these sunlit months.</p>

<h3><strong>3. Landmannalaugar</strong></h3>

<p>Landmannalaugar, renowned for its natural geothermal baths and surreal landscapes, enjoys an extended day from late May to August. Here, the midnight sun casts a mystical glow over its colourful rhyolite mountains and lava fields. The continuous daylight offers more time for hiking and exploring this geological wonderland. Imagine bathing in natural hot springs under a sun that refuses to set, a truly otherworldly experience.</p>

<p>The area around Lake Myvatn, known for its diverse wildlife and volcanic wonders, basks in constant daylight from June to early August.
