Arctic Days and Nights. The Arctic is a region of snow and ice; for months in the winter the sun is below the horizon, and though for other months in the summer it never sets, its heat is not strong enough In most quarters to reduce the quantity of snow and ice which form in the cold season. The longest day and longest night at latitude 70 degrees are about two months each ; 10 degrees de-grees farther north they are about three months each ; at the pole they divide the yenr almost equally.
