Summer and winter solstices in Iceland. The further north or south you go on the planet, the more effect there is by the summer and winter solstices. Icelandâs longest day of the year, the summer solstice, is around the 21st of June. On that day the sun sets just after midnight and rises again just before 3am, in ReykjavÃ­k.
All of Alaska does not go dark in winter! But the further north you go, the darker it gets. Shortest Day of the Year. On the shortest day of the year (December 21, winter solstice), youâll find a range of daylight hours depending on where you are: Even though residents of Barrow, the northernmost town in Alaska, won't see the sun for 67 days come winter, they enjoy the midnight sun all summer - over 80 days of uninterrupted daylight. Anchorage enjoys a more modest amount of daylight in summer than Barrow - but that's still a good 19 hours between sunrise and sunset on the longest day of the year, Summer Solstice.
