Averaged over an entire year, Alaska gets minutes more daylight per day than the rest of the country. If you include civil twilight, Alaska gets 40 minutes more light on average than the rest of the country. Even during those months of the year when Alaska has the same daylight hours as other locations, the days seem longer.
That's because the sun rises and sets later in Alaska due to time zone boundaries. On an Alaska fishing trip, it's civil twilight you care about; it can give you an extra hour of natural light on the water, both morning and evening!
The same is true for Alaska float trips. If you're planning an Alaska road trip, an Alaska RV trip, or Alaska motorcyle trip, some of the most beautiful light can be just before and after sunset. So whatever your plans, these tables come in handy on a trip to Alaska! Kevin McPherson. Iftikhar Alam. Darlene Cantrell. Mary Rush. Andi Grove. J Knight. Ramavarma Ganapathiraj. M Sanchez.

At the latitude of the Arctic Circle, the first day of summer is the only hour day of total daylight.
Further north toward the Pole, the number of hour periods between sunrise and sunset increases. The ultimate long-day occurs at the North Pole where the Sun rises with the Vernal Equinox and finally sets again days later with the Autumnal Equinox. Likewise, during the winter months, for regions north of the Arctic Circle, the sun will set for for at least one full day before rising again.
Further north toward the Pole, the number of hour periods before the sun rises again increases. At the North Pole, the sun will not rise again until the Vernal Equinox. Notes: Time displayed is local time.
