Summer in Alaska where midnight looks like noon. đ¤Żđ
Discussion
Midnight does not look like noon. Lol
Yes it's not as bad as I imagined.
Same!! I was expecting it to be like broad daylight!
That would be the case farther north
Where I live in barrow it is.
Utqiagvik
Also, midnight in Utqiagvik looks a lot different than midnight in Unalaska
It sounds like you made those up. There's a place in Alaska called Un-Alaska?
Thereâs also a place called Dead Horse, and another called Chicken
I just drove through Chicken last week on my trip to Alaska. I think I saw all 17 people. Was on my way from Dawson City (in The Yukon) back to Fairbanks along the Top of the World highway
Yes there is Unalaska, it is on the island Unalaska. Which is also the island that Dutch Harbor is located. If you have ever watched Deadliest Catch most of that is from Dutch Harbor.
I used to know a girl in school who got crabs and that's exactly what they called her... "Deadliest Catch"đŚ
Brutal!
It depends on how far north you are.

Arctic time lapse. No. It is clearly going to be way more sunny during noon.
Youâre misunderstanding what Iâm saying, and also seem to be taking the idea of it âlooking the same as noonâ very very literally. Filming this in Anchorage will be way less dramatic than filming this in Nome. The amount of light you get at midnight will vary greatly depending on how far north you are in Alaska. I was born and raised there and have seen it myself for decades.
You're right. I had my best friend Army stationed in Fairbanks. In July the sun basically never set minus the mountains. He had blackout curtains so he could sleep.
They have a golf course on one of the Army bases. People would playing at 2 AM
Midnight looks like noon (in Alaska in January).
It's just ragebait caption to get people to comment.
Wait until winter. Theyâll get their nighttime back.
Thats when the Hartnett gets to work killing vampires.
Nighttime all day
I would love that.
I remember visiting Edinburgh Scotland when they had long days. I woke up and looked out my hostil window at Arthurs Seat (Large plateua/hill thing) and seeing people hiking up as the early morning light made the sky a dim but vivid blue. It was beautiful...
And then I realized it was like 4 am... It looked like Morning! like... 7am morning!
As a Canadian itâs kind of crazy to think of the length of days that some places in Europe get in the middle of summer. I wouldnât think of Edinburgh as being that much further north than I am, but itâs over 12° north. To put this in to perspective for any other Canadians out there, Edinburgh is the same latitude as the southern end of Flaherty Island in Hudson Bay.
And Edinburgh is right at the same latitude as the southern tip of Sweden. Northern Sweden is at the latitude of central king Williams Island.
Its far north đ
Midnight looks like twilight, not noon.
and 6 months later it's dark all day.
Yeah I'm not Alaskan, but live in the northern part of the world. Currently it is too bright to make you feel sleepy(so shit sleeping personally), and in winter most people get depressed to various degrees. So it has its ups and downs, because when you're not working it's nice to have sunlight later.
Yup, in December in Lithuania we had total of 9 hours of sun per month. Now when you soend most of it at work, you are lucky if you see sun even once during your break.
France troops came to train in Lithuania, and majority of them got depression in 2 months :D
:D

As someone from the Nordic countries I would walk out in pyjamas when it's -5°C out to get mail or garbage, but you Americans don't seem used to it even though it's nothing new. But a cold car is annoying although it can be resolved, and the trees aren't fixable unfortunately.
Been there and it really messes with you brain when you have been inside the blacked out bar drinking for 3 hours and you stagger out and the sun is still shining
Northern Finland has the same thing going on. In the height of the summer the sun barely sets, while at the opposite end in winter the sun barely rises.
Taking this into consideration I really hate daylight savings time here - the whole winter summer rotation is plenty of rollercoaster for ones body and mind, Iâd very much not have any additional artificial obstacles to it tyvm.
Nice neighborhoods
Thats cool to see
I brought a head lamp to Alaska. I felt silly
Kinda awesome you can walk your dog without flashlight at 3am.
I live in Alaska. While midnight doesnât look like noon, itâs basically like twilight and then the sun starts to rise again.
They got suburbs in Alaska? Damn son
Yeah, I believe this would be around Fairbanks - just south of the Arctic Circle. Anchorage has suburbs too, but I think theyâre too far south to have this much light at 1 am.
Pretty sure this is Anchorage. Thatâs what it looks like there in the summer. Twilight around 3-4 am.
Might need to go stay there
"where midnight looks like noon"
Video: midnight the sun isn't even visible in the sky
OP, you know what noon looks like, right?
white nights are so cool!!
Should've posted some proper midnight sun instead.
I recently went on a 17 day cruise from Iceland to Svalbard to Norway. Never once saw the night sky.
Hope Josh Hartnett shows up and saves these people from vampires
I grew up in Fairbanks. Mosquitoes are big and fierce this time of the year. The only good thing about it is that they carry off bug-eyed rat-dogs.
Stop hogging all the sunshine!
I spent one overnight in Helsinki in July one time and had to get up very early (well, for me), like 3:30 am. We were surprised it wasnât full dark. Pretty cool. And as others have said, itâll balance out in the winter months. Cheers.
In what world does the sun set at noon?! Oh I guess Alaska? Maybe they meant âSummer in Alaska where midnight looks like noon, during winterâ?
Now show us what itâs like in winter.
this is pretty cool.
Looks sooooooo kooooo tbh
I just left Paris, and it was this bright until like midnight, too. Tripped me out. Not as hard to fall asleep as I thought, but that could've been CA jetlag.
How does this affect your circadian rhythm and what about the animals?
Youngster96 with the clickbait title
soooooo cool
Spent a summer in Bergen. 2a felt creepily bright. So the hotel rooms had these blackout curtains to let that not affect oneâs sleeping habits
I've lived in Anchorage and Wasilla for year (total time) and yeah both places are like normal American cities with suburbs and stripmalls.
I love the winters here it's my favorite, I don't really get cold and I love the dark.
The sun in June is out the longest I'd say it's only really that dark twilight from 1am to 4am also depends on how cloudy it is. But yes 10pm on a clear day will look like 4pm in say TX.
The sun is also very low so it's never like bright and shining overhead.
What kind of noon is that lol?
Why tf is the porch light on?
I'd say it looks more like a late summer 8pm
What about the other AMs and the PMs too
I can confirm thisâŚ. Damn it was bright as hell at midnight
Where do you live that your noon time looks like that?
flerf idiots will say its fake xD
My mom's family is from Sweden and I went there almost every summer with her growing up. I never got used to this. It's really disorienting. This seems to be on a slightly higher latitude, but not by much. I guess it might appeal to some, but it screwed with my circadian rhythm bad.
One of those things that's cool to witness. But living through it with no darkness for like 2 whole months? No thanks. Same as the near absence of quality sunlight in the winter. There goes weeks where you never get much more than a twilight before it gets dark again.
As a night owl, this would deeply upset me.
Does anyone know how flat-earthers try to rationalize this? Not that any of their thinking is rational, but just curious what those nutcases say.
only reason i would goto alaska is for aurora. i guess i am not going there during summer.
Hearing this song just sent me into a crazy flashback
That's a Vibe
Like noon? Where do you live?
Pretty much like in London now
Too cool đ I hope to go see it one day!
Anyone reminded of the movie Insomnia?
30 Nights of Day
Hold up, there are cul-de-sacs in Alaska? GTFO
Didnât need to lie to make this interesting
More like dawn
Everything looks like magic if you have poorly studied in school. (or you are a bot)
I'm a little concerned about what someone considers noon.
Midnight looks like 9pm-10pm where I am in summer (if it has been a sunny day) Definitely not noon.
It looks like noon during a partial solar eclipse.
I hate it, I love the mystery of the night
Looked more like early morning, but ok.
thought Alaska was all just Snow
Yeah, that doesn't look like noon.
I'd get so depressed and angry during the summer. Winter would have me dancing down the st. I thrive in dark.
Alaska has suburbs??? đ¤Ż
Fairbanks, Anchorage, Denali.... There's plenty of big-ish cities up there.
Did you find this post really amazing (in a positive way)?
