Going Dark

By icefogger

As of Thursday, Fairbanks has lost 11 hours, 41 minutes and 54 seconds of daylight since the Summer Solstice.

We will lose another 6 hours, 22 minutes and 13 seconds between now and the Winter Solstice.

Life in the North.

  How much sunlight / daytime do you get around Winter Solstice – Christmas – New Year’s?
