How about a trip to Eureka, Canada
A Brief Summary
If sunshine is what you crave, not warm sunshine we hasten to add, then the far northern town of Eureka, on Ellesmere Island in May is where you should head (yes, you’ll probably need a map!). While there’s very, very, VERY little to do here, your quest for sunshine will see you fulfilled, with around 500 hours of it during the month (averaging 16hours per day!), it is the sunniest place on earth, in any month of the year! But, despite the quantity of sunshine on offer, think more puffed-up coat, than puffed-out chest, as daytime temperatures rarely exceeed 0° and frequently drop below -15°c!

About the Weather
Cold. Really cold! Only Jun – Aug reliably sees temperatures above freezing here, and even then it’s seldom by more than 10 or 12°c. The saving grace is that with almost constant daylight, you can huge amounts of sunshine during the summer, particularly May where this unknown part of Canada is the sunniest place on earth. Winters are extreme in every sense of the word. Extremely cold, regularly below -35°c, extremely dark (sunless from Nov to Feb!) and extremely dry and calm.. wind or rain here in winter are virtually unknown and snow seldom falls, but what does fall stays on the ground for months!
