On June 21, as seen from the North pole ...

-- the sun has been up, and it's been light outside,
for the past three months ... ever since March 21 .

-- The sun won't set, and it won't be dark outside,
for another three months ... until September 21.

-- Here at the North pole, it stays daylight for six months straight.
Today, on June 21, we're exactly halfway through the period of
continuous daylight.
