Subject:Pt. Barrow Winter Solstice

I should have mentioned this in the earlier post.

Check your calendar - November, right?

In Pt. Barrow, Alaska each year it is heard this day on the radio "The
sun set today.November 19, and the sun will rises again around January
22 or January 23.

  This creates a polar night that lasts 65 days until the sun rises
again near the end of January.

Wouldn't that be a trip, camping in winter?
