22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Midnight sun at Mjelle Beach

2am on the first day of the midnight sun in arctic Norway. Each summer the landscape is bathed in 24 sunlight for three months. I was camping on my local beach and stayed awake in order to experience the midnight sun for the first time of the year.
