What time does it get dark in Alaska?

no darkness

The hardest thing for me to get used to in Alaska was the time. Down below is my watch which I took a picture of one night. I believe I was in Denali which is just south of Fairbanks.

The watch shows a time of 11:32 and it still was not dark. I went in and went to bed. someone told me it really does not get dark until about 2am. Sometimes I was up at 5 and it was already more light than it was at 11:32.

Also, did you know that Alaska is one hour earlier than Pacific time? So if it is 12 noon in New York it is 8am in Alaska. I always though there was just eastern time, central time, mountain time and pacific time.

I will upload the picture as soon as that feature works again!

A few years ago we were in Fairbanks, AK in July. At midnight, we were sitting in a restaurant which overlooked a lake. It was totally daylight and we watched people riding on their Jet-Skis aound the lake. When do they sleep?

Mike,

I knew it was light in Alaska, but virtual total light. Did know that about the time zones. :)

Steve

There are 24 time zones... Actually, there might be a couple that are on half hours, too...

I would love to get up there and see the midnight sun.

Mike - on June 21, the day of the summer solstice, you can get tee times 24 hours a day at at least one course in Fairbanks.

My mom lived in AK for a bit and she had to put foil on the windows in the summer.

I would Love to see the Northern lights - did you get that chance Mike?

Sincerely,

Grace

I di dnot see the northern lights because I did not see any darkness.

I don't know that I could get used to that. That would be as bad as when your parents made you go to bed as kid when it was still bright outside.

JUN

Wow,

Did not know that Alaska had a different time zone, that's interesting. But I did hear there is about 6 months of daylight in the summer and 6 months of darkness in the winter. I definitely would have to choose the summer months. Really enjoying reading about y'alls adventure in Alaska.
