Was the area you worked in where there is no day light part of the year and no darkness part of the year? I always thought it would be cool just to experience that.


Well in June, it never would get dark (nighttime), it would get dusk then daylight again...in January, it would get daylight around 9:00 a.m. and get dark about 3:30 p.m. That made for some pretty long nights up there at -38° with nothing to do in the evenings.

I even got a chance to experience the Aurora Borealis (northern lights).


That would be so cool! (Pun intended! grin)
