Being that far North, shouldn't the sun be setting to the west-sou'west???? It sure looks to me like you are seeing a sunset in the northwest while in the northern hemisphere.
The sunrise at this time of year in these parts is 04:04 AM with the sunset at 22:17 PM so it really doesn't get dark during the night. Go above 67 degrees latitude and there is no sunset or sunrise so north is just where the sun is at its lowest in the night time sky.
Midnight sun at Nordkapp, Norway. (The Sun is indicating where north is)
