Up here where I sometimes work, during the summer in Prudhoe Bay the sun just goes around and around, never dipping below the horizon. Even in Anchorage where I live it only goes down for three to four hours and when it does, slowly edges across the horizon before it goes down.
I took a summer trip to Ohio one year and went for a walk before sun down in the evening to be surprised that for you lower 48 states folk, the sun just d u m p s straight down at the horizon, darkness quickly closing. That was so weird to me being used to a sun that angles down slowly.
Edit: I had to space out the word d u m p s - Apparently there is some kind of filtering against that word
I really want to see the midnight sun at least once in my lifetime though
