Polar night has officially begun in Alaska. For 66 consecutive days, the residents of Utqiagvik, Alaska, the northernmost town in the United States, will not see the sun. Polar night is a natural phenomenon which began on November 18 and will continue until January 23. It is caused by the tilt of Earth’s axis and polar night occurs in regions within the Arctic Circle where the sun remains below the horizon for extended periods during winter.
1. Were you aware that this happens in Alaska?

Were you aware that this happens in Alaska?
2. Even without direct sunlight, there is still some natural light from the moon, stars, and the Northern Lights. Have you ever see any Northern Lights?

3. Communities adapt by establishing strict routines to maintain a normal sleep-wake cycle and often find new ways to appreciate their environment during this time. Do you think 24 hours of darkness would impair your sleep cycle?

4. To balance - Utqiagvik also enjoys 24-hours of sunlight from mid-May to mid-August during the phenomenon known as the "midnight sun." Just curious.... would you prefer polar night or midnight sun if you had to choose one?
