You'll experience nearly 24 hours of daylight in June and July, which offers ample time for exploring the island and its wildlife. This is ideal for travellers keen on wildlife viewing, as migratory birds return and Arctic marine life is more active.For those interested in experiencing the unique cultural aspects and the possibility of seeing the Northern Lights, late autumn (September to October) can also be a good choice.
