Description
Alaska is known as the �Land of the Midnight Sun� which means during the spring and summer Alaska gets a lot of daylight. Isn�t that nice. 24 hours of daylight in some places. Alaska highway 3 mile, marker 317, 17 miles from the community of Nenana.
I was returning from Denali National Park heading back to Fairbanks when at 11:14:35pm at a temperature of 56 degrees,I stumbled on this and thought with amusement, �Alaska, Land of the 11:14:35pm Sun.�
The Interior is getting about 17 hours of daylight here in the month of May 2014. On the longest day of the year which is �Solstice� the Interior will receive 21 hours, 49 minutes of daylight. So in reality you do not have to wait tip midnight to see the midnight sun.
