"Land of the Midnight Sun" is one of a few official slogans for Yukon Territory, Canada. The provocative term "Midnight Sun" was first written and published by Yukon poet Robert Service. The term appears in the opening line of his famous poem, "The Cremation of Sam McGee". Published 1907.. "There are strange things done 'neath the midnight sun By the men who moil for gold."

Official slogan for Yukon Territory, Canada, 1953 to 1970. "Land of the Midnight Sun" as a term was coined in 1953 when it was used as the first licence plate slogan for Yukon Territory. Replaced in 1970 by "Home of the Klondike". Since then, "land of the midnight sun" as a descriptive term has been borrowed and used to describe any place on earth that experiences extreme seasonal daylength. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bonsaijerry (talkcontribs) 18:07, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]


The midnight sun is a natural phenomenon that occurs in the summer months in places north of the Arctic Circle or south of the Antarctic Circle, when the sun remains visible at the local midnight. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.26.158.10 (talk) 13:31, 9 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
