US town Utqiagvik goes into darkness for 65 days
(Web Desk) – Northernmost US city of Utqiagvik in Alaska has gone into darkness for 65 days after just 64 minutes of sunlight.
The city of about 4,000 residents is 320 miles above the Arctic Circle, north of which all latitudes experience some length of polar night.
Celebrating the beginning of Polar Night at 1:44pm (sunset) with good friends, great food, and lots of laughs at a Hollywood film where, on Polar Night, vampires take over our little town, a resident wrote on Instagram.
Civil twilight will provide enough illumination to see objects outside for between three to six hours a day in the city.
