The period around the winter solstices, the shortest days and longest nights in the northern hemisphere. It occurs on the 21/22 December when the earth axis, on which it rotates, points at the furthest angle away from the sun in the northern hemisphere (and towards the sun in the southern). Hence as the earth rotates, points close to the pole receive no sun.
It is 67 days of night in Alaska. Its not pitch black like that new movie but there isn't much sunlight.
I don't think there is a name for it. sorry :(
i think its just the city of barrow and its surrounding areas. but that 30 days of night sounds freaky and glad im in new york lol [edit] Actually, the 30 days of night only occur in or around barrow. Southeast Alaska such as Anchorage and the rest of the Kenai Peninsula ( including Fairbanks) do not get the 30 days of night
Because it is not far enough north.
yes it is a vampire movie set in alaska
The places closest to the poles, such as the Arctic Circle, experience the longest days. In the Arctic, particularly locations like northern Norway, Alaska, Iceland, and Canada, the summer solstice can have over 24 hours of daylight, with the sun not setting for several days in a row due to the Earth's axial tilt.
I'm pretty sure that dark days is the second one or sequel to 30 days of night

Alaska does have extended periods of darkness during winter, but the famous "30 days of night" refers to Barrow, the northernmost city, where the sun sets on November 18 and doesn't rise again until January 22, resulting in about 65 days of darkness. Other parts of Alaska may experience varying degrees of darkness during winter, with some areas not experiencing total darkness for 67 days.
