"Isn't it dark all the time in Alaska?" is another question I get. And the answer is "no". Yes, there are some towns in the very northern regions of Alaska that experience a lot of darkness, but I live on the Kenai Peninsula and the worst of the darkness is in December, where it will get light out at 9:30 am and it is dark by 4:30. But, on December 21 we start gaining sunlight, a few minutes at a time each day, but it adds up fast. By the end of February it will get light out at 8am and it won't get dark till about 7:30 or 8pm. And by the end of April, well, it is light out at 5am and it doesn't get dark till after 11pm and then it is light for most of the summer... and some people are going to ask "don't you get sick of that?". The answer is "NO - I love it!". You always have energy and there is nothing like seeing a bright, blazing sun at midnight!
