This Alaskan town just had its last sunrise for nearly 3 Months

00:15

This Alaskan town just witnessed its last sunrise for nearly three months.

Time-lapse footage from the National Weather Service shows the sun dipping below the horizon at 1:48 AM AKDT (9:48 AM BST) on Sunday (10 May), briefly reappearing at 2:57 AM (10:57 AM BST).

In Utqiagvik, Alaska, that fleeting moment marked the start of a remarkable 84-day stretch of uninterrupted daylight, officially opening the Arctic's midnight sun season.

The sun will not set again until August 2 in the northernmost city in the U.S.
