The midnight sun...

This is so interesting. You must be very flexible (or well conditioned) to fare well with such extremes. Did you adapt readily or did it take some time to adjust?

I would love to spend some time up there, maybe a year or two to experiance it. I'm not too sure that I could handle that all the time but it would be very neat to see.

The dark was much harder for me to adjust to. I moved here in January--not a good time of year to move up here, especially when you don't know a soul and your hubby can't come for four months! That first winter was not fun! I bought a daylight lamp before my second winter here. It helps alot. I use it every morning in the dim months for about 20 minutes.

And I thought we had a lot of sun here! At least we have a night time! I actually think I'd do ok with 20 hours of daylight, but I think 20 hours of darkness would drive me nuts! One of my best friends is from Alaska and she loves to tell me crazy stories about living up there. I like hearing about all the strange foods like eskimo ice cream and stink flipper.

Wow, amazing pictures ... at 1AM!! You must be further north than me. Denmark is on the 56th latitude. It's a strange feeling that it's light here until about 10.30 PM, although it doesn't really get pitch black at night. I hate the little light we get during winter months, it's be dark at around 4.30.

Also, it always takes a looong time from light to dark. I'd prefer it like in Spain, it goes dark within 10-15 min.

What latitude are you on?

that's cool!
Altho I think it would be hard to get used to.
Laura's Babies - that's so funny.

What latitude are you on?

He he, I was JUST about ready to ask that too, but of course I read the other replies too!
I'd like to add: are you lokated above the Artic Circle?

These pics are truly spectacular!!

What latitude are you on?

We are on the 61st latitude. Not above the arctic circle. The circle is at 66 latitude. I have been above the circle. You can drive there from here on the Dempster highway(I use the word highway loosely!)
