SUMMER SOLSTICE
Today we celebrate summer solstice and therewith, the longest day of the year. The summer solstice, or also called midsummer, occurs when either of Earth's poles - in this case the north pole - has its maximum tilt toward the Sun.
On this day, Earth's axial tilt toward the Sun is 23.44° and the Sun is at its highest position in the sky.
Since earlier this month we've been enjoying the beauty and magic of the midnight sun and if the weather conditions allow, we will continue to do so for a little while longer.
Did you know: here in Húsavík the sun will only set again on the 2nd of July! Until then, we are able to enjoy endless days and the sun around the clock!
Don't forget: for a few more weeks we'll be offering our "Midnight Sun Exclusive GG2 Big Whale Safari and Puffins" tour on our RIB speed boats, enabling you to experience this unique phenomenon out at sea whilst watching whales in the pristine wild of Skjálfandi Bay.
