I've been close enough to the arctic in June when the sun doesn't set for months. I've also been there in December when the sun never rises months. The Northern lights (Aurora Borealis) are beautiful. The difference between the piddly ones you see further South and in the far North is similar to the difference in seeing stars from inside a big city vs. seeing the stars out on the ocean with no land in sight.
