If Muslims have to wait until sundown to eat on Ramadan, how do they cope with their fasting regimen in Iceland, Northern Scandinavia, or any region known as “The Land of the Midnight Sun?”

I doubt there are enough Nordic Muslims for that to become an issue very often. Then again, there may just be so few Nordic Muslims because they all starved to death... Anyway, to actually answer the question, I don't know for sure. But the most logical option, if you ask me, would be to either take an extended vacation during Ramadan, or not live that far North in the first place.

This is actually an easy question but a good one. It's sundown at mecca. Every year there is a post at mosques with the times of sun-up and sun-down at mecca and then it's transferred to your time-zone. If the sun goes down at Mecca at 7:30pm, even if the sun is up in ice-land, you can eat at 7:31 since you went through the fasting at the holy mecca.
