Hello! Welcome to my first blog in this second semester of the year. Today I will tell you about a place that I would love to visit.
Barrow is a city officially known as "Utqiaġvik," located in northern Alaska. This city consists of 4500 inhabitants and has a very rare characteristic because during the months of May, June, and July corresponding to the summer, it remains almost 24 hours a day with sunlight, which is why it is known as "The Land of the Midnight Sun." During the months of November, December, and January, it experiences what is usually called the "Polar Night," remaining completely dark. This cycle happens every year, which has led the inhabitants of the city to adapt, having schedules as striking as cutting the lawn at 11 p.m.
The easiest way to get there is by plane, as Barrow has a sea of frozen water, which makes it difficult to travel by boat in winter.
This phenomenon of constant day and night light is due to the tilt of the Earth and to the fact that the city is close to the Arctic Circle, where this phenomenon usually occurs.
That's all for today, see you later in a new blog!
