M: Wow, I had no idea it was going to be so sunny here! I thought Alaska was supposed to be cold. W: Well, it is pretty cold for much of the year. But during the summer, it's just as warm as it is in states like Washington and Oregon. M: Interesting. The days are really long right now. I don't think the sun has been down for more than a few hours the whole time I've been here. W: Yeah, that's another interesting thing about the summers here. We're so far north that we're exposed to the sun for almost the entire day. In winter, the opposite is true. M: You mean it's dark the whole time? W: Well, not the whole time... but maybe for two-thirds of every day from December to February. M: Whoa! How do you make it through every year? As a California native, I wouldn't be able to handle that for more than one season! W: I guess I'm used to it. When I was a kid, it was pretty fun to play with flashlights and have campfires outside in the afternoon.
