Sunrise and sunset in Greenland

(Times for Nuuk)

The times of sunrise and sunset in Greenland are significantly influenced by the country's very northern position in the hemisphere. Relatively high in the north the days in summer are long and short in winter. With up to approximately 21:20 hours the longest days happen in Juni. On the other hand, the longest and darkest nights are in winter (in the southern hemisphere it is the other way around). In Dezember a night in Nuuk lasts almost 20 hours.

Who wants to look at the sunrise in these days, has to wake up early. Sunrise in Nuuk starts already at 3:25 in the morning. The sunset on the other hand is currently late at 23:39 in the evening.
