Many people think it’s dark 24/7 in the winter here- but here’s the truth from someone who lives here: In early January, Anchorage gets about 5 hours of daylight. By mid-month, it’s 6 hours. By the end of January, 7 hours. And after December 21st? We gain 3–5 minutes of sunlight every single day.

Yes — parts of the United States actually get 24 hours of daylight. In northern Alaska, the Arctic Circle keeps the sun above the horizon for over 70 days, creating the stunning Midnight Sun. But when winter arrives, everything flips: weeks of total darkness known as Polar Night. In Alaska, daylight isn’t just weather… It’s astronomy you can live in. #fblifestyle ⸻ #MidnightSun #Alaska #PolarNight #ArcticCircle #GeographyFacts #USA #EarthScience #DidYouKnow #EducationalReels #NatureExplained | U

How much daylight are you experiencing? Winter solstice is the shortest day of the year, and here in Seward, Alaska we had just under six hours of sunlight today. Other Alaskan towns and villages further north experience much less sunlight, and some experience months of complete darkness in the winter. | Alaska SeaLife Center
