Midnight Sun occurs in places north to Arctic Circle. So, any place above the Arctic Circle will be referred as Land of Midnight Sun. Here, Sun is visible for 24 hrs. Greenland is also above Arctic Circle.Thus,it is known as the land of midnight sun.

The midnight sun is a universal phenomenon that happens in the summer periods in regions of north  Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle when the sun settles obvious at the local midnight.

The midnight sun is apparent within late-April and late-August in Greenland's northernmost cities. Nearer to the Arctic Circle, the midnight sun is noticeable within early-June and mid-July. A midnight sun is a common event in which the sun does not set for an extended number of days or months.
