It's that time of year again - non-stop sun. No more sunsets for two months. The sun just does a wide circle in the sky and never disappears. It's exciting at the moment, as the novelty of the light and warmth is still fresh after the long winter. Yesterday was glorious - almost 20 degrees, no wind, and no bugs. I had to break out the sunblock for the first time while doing some backyard cleanup and gardening.
I did take a picture of the last sunset on Thursday night - the sun went down at 2:20 am and rose again an hour later! See pictures below, taken at 2 am.
Below that you can see the "sunrise" and "sunset" times disappear from the weather forecast.
Last sunset before the summer.
Houses in Inuvik in the glow of the sunset. This is pretty much as dark as it got.
