hello!
All places above 66 1/2º latitude has daylight for more than 12 hours. The Earth's axis is tilted and so the places above 66 1/2º get sunlight for over 12 hours. Greenland is also above 66 1/2º so it also experiences a long day time. So even it is midnight, the sun is present. So we can say that Greenland is the land of midnight sun.
Example: other places like Norway also experiences the same phenomenon!
