Winter Solstice is officially December 21st 2009 at 8:47 AM Alaska Time
Winter Solstice in Alaska is important! We are the land of extremes ....
Winter Solstice is the longest night, shortest day .... But most important...
.it marks the beginning of the return of daylight!
Daylight is on the way back! We start gaining about 10 seconds a day and that will escalate each day up to the Summer Solstice where we will have the longest day and shortest night....
