Inuvik is a town of just over 3,000 people in the Northwest Territories of Canada. It's situated two degrees above the Arctic Circle.
During winter it experiences about 30 consecutive days of total darkness, thanks to what's called the Noon-Moon. The sun finally returns in January, and everyone takes note.
In Inuvik NWT today, the sun rose at 1:11 pm and set at 2:54 pm for a total of 1 hour, 43 minutes of daylight
Almost two hours of daylight!
