It's 1 in the morning, and still light
Most people don't get this, unless you've lived here in Alaska.
Even visiting isn't enough. As a tourist, you don't have the time to fully acclimate to 24 hours of daylight.
June 21, 2007 Sunrise Sunset 2:57 AM AKDT 12:49 AM AKDT Length Of Visible Light: 24h 00m Length of Day: 21h 51m Tomorrow will be 0m 20s shorter.So, that means that the Sun rose at 2:57am on Wednesday morning. It didn't set until 12:49 on Thursday morning. For those of you with good math skills you already know that means that there's really only 2 hours when the sun is down. But, the thing is, it's not dark. Ever. While the sun is technically below the horizon, it's not dark.... It's nice.
