The polar night has begun in Utqiaġvik, Alaska (Credit: Bob Johnston/ CC-BY-SA-2.0/ Wikimedia Commons)

The next time you grumble about short winter days, think of Utqiaġvik (formerly Barrow), Alaska, the northernmost town in the United States. On November 18, 2025, its residents witnessed their final sunset of the year. They will not see the Sun again until around January 22, 2026. That is about 64 consecutive days, or 1,536 hours, of darkness!

    Incredible! Though, without the sun, it'll get pretty cold.. But, their people have dealt with this sort of thing for a long, long time, so surely they'll be alright. As a southern fellow, I can't imagine what that must be like :0
