Night Skies In Nunavut
Night skies in Nunavut are a thing of wonder. During the dark season, you can see stars from 3 pm to 10 am easy. But during the summer months, from May to the end of July, you don't get a "night" sky. It's 24 hours of sunlight. I haven't had the chance to experience that yet, but it is soon to come. The days are already a lot longer and the sun is almost cresting the horizon when I take my wife, @arcticgypsy to work in the morning. It should be interesting to have days longer than nights before the snow is gone. It will be really strange to try and go to bed with the sun doing a lazy loop around your head. I am simultaneously looking forward to it, and not looking forward to it.
Oh, and I'm so far north that the aurora's aren't all that spectacular here. And as a bonus fact, we have to look south to see the "northen" lights. :D
Wow. I don't know if I could deal with the long darkness and cold... Sounds interesting though... And love the picture!

I deal with the cold a lot better than the heat, so I'm loving it. The darkness does get to you a little bit. I was really disappointed that there was no good aurora borealis during those long nights. We saw some, but I've seen better in my home province of Saskatchewan lol.
The stars are absolutely amazing without any light pollution around, though. I definitely need to bring a telescope up here for next year!
