I find it a bit strange that you post a question here instead of *immediately* finding the answer by [doing some research yourself](https://www.google.nl/search?q=summer+in+the+arctic).

I find it a bit rude that you post a snide attitude.

In all the documentaries I've seen regarding the Arctic or anyplace close to it, like Alaska or Siberia, they simply say that summer in the Arctic is "short".

But how short is short?

How long does the sun refuse to set in the land of the midnight sun?
