Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!

On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords.

On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.

So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins,
For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing.

Funny - I saw numerous spelling errors in your post, like "magicaly" and "finaly" and "donkies" and "localy". I'll allow the American spellings. But... didn't you say something about when I can learn to read? Will probably happen before you learn to spell.

Wrong. You see, I already knew that at the North Pole, there is permanent sunlight for 6 months (the northern hemisphere summer) (full sun, above the horizon) And... above the Arctic Circle in other areas there's permanent sunlight in that same 6 month period, but with at least part of the sun dipping to horizon level at "dusk". Most of Iceland is below the Arctic Circle, and I don't know precisely where Angus lives, so I asked him to fill in. Better than rocking back and forth on the stoop, pretending to know everything. Got a grip on it now Jack?

Lazs - interestingly, the Oxford Paperback Dictionary defines the word "night" as the time between sunset and sunrise. Therefore, if the sun does not set, there is no night at all. "Midnight" is a term used in lieu of 12am, by which I mean one minute before 12.01am. But in those areas where the sun does not set at all at certain times of the year, it's a bit of a misnomer. "Land of the Midnight Sun" is likely a name used by visiting tourists, more than the locals.

Well Jack, I guess I didn't spell it out to you clearly enough. I've amended my post, which should have read that there is permanent sunlight in the Arctic Circle during the 6 months of Northern hemisphere "summer" - you know, the period we're in now which we've been talking about for the last few posts, especially relevant because as Angus pointed out, Wednesday is the Northern hemisphere's summer solstice. That may be a new word for you, so just think June 21.

LOL Jack - hardly. Again, I thought it was obvious I was talking about the northern hemisphere summer, as indeed it was to Angus and Lazs. Sorry it wasn't obvious to you.

Of course, in your Flat Earth society, the earth doesn't have a northern and southern hemisphere - hence the confusion!

6 months of sunlight and 6 of dark. How does that affect the normal sleep patterns of humans? It seems to me that our built-in need for daily sleep is a result of our experiencing a period of night every 24 hours. Would people eventually adapt to different sleep patterns if exposed to differnt day/night patters for a long enough period of time? I'm talking many thousands of years.

Yeah, I saw that. I've crossed the pacific 10 times and worked rotating shifts so I'm familiar with jet lag and unusual sleep patterns. Bizarre to imagine we might develop a sleep pattern based on a 6/6 month cycle though.
