Logbook: Nuiqsut to Wasilla, entry 2: high noon sun, enroute to Deadhorse. As you can see, the high noon sun is sinking lower and lower each day. For now, the Arctic Slope still has the longest days of any place in the country. This will changes at equinox, September 21, when the Arctic will share a single 12 hour day with all the world, although it will still feel longer here due to the extended periods of dawn and dusk experienced in the polar regions. Then day length will rapidly diminish until mid November, when the sun will disappear altogether.
