Which region of Canada is known as the 'Land of the Midnight Sun'?

1. The East

2. The West

3. The North

4. The South

The correct answer is: The North

The region of Canada known as the 'Land of the Midnight Sun' is the North, as it is commonly referred to as the land above the Arctic Circle. This is where the sun does not set during the summer months, resulting in continuous daylight for a period of time. Option A The East region of Canada does experience longer hours of daylight during the summer, but it is not known as the 'Land of the Midnight Sun' because the sun still sets at some point during the day. Option B: The West region of Canada also does not experience continuous daylight during the summer, making it an incorrect choice. Option D: The South region of Canada does not reach the Arctic Circle and therefore does not experience the phenomena of the 'Land of the Midnight Sun'. Overall, while all regions of Canada may have varying amounts of daylight during the summer months, it is the North region that is known specifically as the 'Land of the Midnight Sun'.
