Noun
midnight sun (plural midnight suns)
- The phenomenon occurring when the Sun does not set, but only approaches the horizon, at midnight; occurs near the summer solstice in the polar regions.
- 1907, Robert W. Service, “The Cremation of Sam McGee”, in The Spell of the Yukon and Other Verses:
- There are strange things done in the midnight sun
By the men who moil for gold;
The Arctic trails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold;
The Northern Lights have seen queer sights,
But the queerest they ever did see
Was that night on the marge of Lake Lebarge
I cremated Sam McGee.
- There are strange things done in the midnight sun
