The time is 11 p.m. and Azhiemi from Indonesia shares what it's like to cycle in daylight as midnight nears. ☀️ 🚴♂️ 😮 He's a master's student in architecture and urban design at Umeå University.
This time of year, the further up north you go in Sweden, the more daylight you get. And once you’re in regions above the Arctic Circle, the sun doesn’t set at all. This phenomenon is known as the midnight sun – ‘midnattssol’ in Swedish.
