The sun rose in Utqiagvik on May 10 and will not set again until August 2. Our last night we stayed up until 2 to watch the sun circle around the horizon.

C stood in the exact same place and you can use the tops of the containers to see how far the sun moved every 2 hours.

The sun is due north at some point during the night – wish we had pulled out a compass.  

In another 2 hours the sun would have been east of our reference point.

I added a couple photos from the night we got home. In Healy the sun is below the horizon for a little over 3 hours, but it is very light throughout the “night”. Starting today the days will get shorter which will be nice.
