How do Muslims north of the Arctic Circle
participate in Ramadan?

In areas north of the Arctic Circle, Muslims observing Ramadan this year are in for a challenge. At the height of summer, the suns stays up around the clock, meaning that those who fast cannot follow the movements of the sun to determine when they are allowed to eat.

An estimated 700 Muslims are spending Ramadan in the mining town of Kiruna,
located 145km north of the Arctic Circle and surrounded by snowcapped mountains throughout the summer. Many of them are recent asylum seekers, sent to Kiruna while their claims are processed.

The sun stays up around the clock from May 28-July 16, which constitutes half of the fasting period this year.

December Ramadan: Perpetual darkness.

When Ramadan falls in December, however, Muslims will face the opposite of midnight sun: polar night. For two weeks, the sun
does not rise above the horizon.
