Greenland, Aerial

The midnight sun causes the peaks of eastern Greenland to cast long shadows over the frozen landscape near Milait. The northern face of these mountains is lit by the sun, something that happens only in the middle of the night in the Greenland summer. Because of the extreme northern latitude, sunlight spills over the top of the Earth to illuminate these peaks at night.
