It’s that time of year again! The December solstice marks the shortest day in the Northern Hemisphere and the longest day in the Southern Hemisphere.

Wherever you are, the solstice marks a time of change and a turning point in the year. Whether you’re experiencing a winter solstice or summer solstice this December, join us in celebrating with a new geocaching souvenir!

Geocachers celebrated the June solstice earlier this year. Some faced dropping temperatures as they cached in the Southern Hemisphere. Meanwhile, in the Northern Hemisphere, geocachers had plenty of long days to find caches and earn the souvenir. This month, they are reversed!

Whichever hemisphere you’re in, the solstice means something to look forward to, as the change of seasons brings on something new!

Geocaching HQ crafted a special souvenir exclusively for geocachers to commemorate the December solstice. Earn this souvenir by finding any geocache, attending any Event, or completing an Adventure Lab® Location from December 20-22, 2024.

How will you celebrate the solstice this December?
