Alaska, The Land Of The Midnight Sun

Alaska is called "The Last Frontier" and that is a proper name for it. However it's also called "The Land Of The Midnight Sun".

On June 21, the longest day of the year, Fairbanks, Alaska recorded 23 hours and 30 minutes of "daylight". The sun never really set, it just dropped below the western sky and then came right back up in the eastern sky.

Last night at 11:45 PM I took some pictures to help prove my point. I believe when you look at them you'll agree with me that it's rather hard to know when to go to bed cause there is still daylight until the early hours of morning. It takes some getting use to and for those of us fro the "Lower 48", it's difficult.
