The country with the shortest day in the world depends on the time of year. During the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year in the Northern Hemisphere, countries located furthest north have the shortest daylight hours.
Here are some examples:
- Norway: During the winter solstice, some parts of Norway experience almost 24 hours of darkness.
- Iceland: Similarly, Iceland experiences very short daylight hours during the winter months.
- Greenland: As an island located very close to the Arctic Circle, Greenland experiences extreme variations in daylight hours throughout the year.
It is important to note that the shortest day of the year varies slightly depending on the specific location within a country.
