Alaska’s Utqiagvik enters 65-day ‘polar night’ with no sunrise
Alaska’s Utqiagvik has entered its 65-day “polar night” after witnessing its last sunset on November 18. Situated far north of the Arctic Circle, the town will see no direct sunlight until January 22. Only faint twilight and occasional auroras provide light. The extreme darkness flips in summer, when Utqiagvik experiences continuous daylight for nearly three months.
