Fajr and Isha at high latitudes
From 19 April to 23 August the sun in Iqaluit never sinks 15.0° below the horizon, so the twilight that defines Fajr never fully ends.
On those dates Fajr and Isha are estimated with the angle-based rule: the night is divided in proportion to the twilight angle, e.g. 18/60 of the night for 18°. You can choose another rule in the calculation settings.
