Did You Know About Utqiagvik, Alaska?

Did you know that at least one city in Alaska has to sit in the dark for over two months waiting for the sun to come up?

Good news from our friend Zachary Hall.

Exciting news for our northernmost U.S. city, first sunrise in 65 days!

Yes, for the very first time in 65 days, the sun will rise above the horizon in Utqiagvik, Alaska.

This will occur around 5 PM.

Unfortunately, it will set just one hour later.

Good news though, more sunshine is coming to the area very soon after its recent stretch of darkness.

I’m not sure I could live in this area, could you?
