- Fairbanks, Alaska, U.S. - Winter days are cold and short. This timelapse compresses 3 hours, 40 minutes into a video 1 minute, 15 seconds long. The interval between images is 10 seconds. The view is south toward the Alaska Mountain Range. © Eric Muehling. All rights reserved.
CAMERA: Images were shot in RAW format using a Canon EOS 70D camera. Camera settings: Image preview off, Auto power off Disabled, ISO Auto range 100-800, Av, F8. The Canon camera had a 2-battery grip to extend battery life.
LENS: Tokina F2.8 11-16mm lens set at 14mm on manual focus (infinity).
INTERVALOMETER: Vello Wireless Shutterboss.
EDITING: Raw images (5472x3648) @ 20mb were converted to lower-resolution (1920x1080) jpeg using Adobe Lightroom. Post production with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Premiere.
The outside temperature was -6 degrees (F). The camera and intervalometer were inside an insulated, heated plastic tub. The lens extended through a hold cut into the side of the tub. A 12-volt (deep cycle) vehicle battery kept a light on inside the plastic tub to keep the camera and intervalometer warm. The temperature inside the tub was 6 degrees (F).
I hope these technical details help you to make a good timelapse video.
Call me weird but the lack of sunlight never bothered me, it was an experience unique to Alaska, and I embraced it!

Weird
@@narwhal5447
you're weird
You’re NOT weird. The short winter days never bother me either.
So this island is rotated thts why sun going to side not coming up right?
This makes me feel awe, not depressed.
The 4 hours where the sun is up is not the part that makes people depressed; it's the 20 hours that it isn't ;)
Thanks man super depressed..needed this
I love the darkness now lifer non autistics maybe I love darkness before sunshine
Wow it's like a pretty sunrise/sunset the entire time
Fr! Golden hour for 4 hours?? Sign me up!
Thanks for posting this. I've been showing my students a photo taken in Fairbanks on the solstice, but now I have this to show them.
I lived in Finland for MANY years smack in the center, in a township called Tampere. This becomes normal and you get used to it. On the otherhand though, in the SUMMER the Sun barely dips below the horizon giving us 24 hours of light!
Hi, is there any season that you could see the sun near the horizon (just like setting or rising) 24 hours in Finland?
@@ErdemYayn Im from Norway and from like mid May to mid July, the sun doesn't go below the horizon where i live. (Tromsø)
Here in England sunrise on the solstice 3:51 and sunset 9:48. The darkest it gets is like a dark blue sky with a bit of a orange trail at the bottom,the sun only tilts 14 degrees below the horizon here.
Even when the sun is up, it’s so low that it still looks dim. Imagine months of not getting good quality sunlight? Sucks
I can not believe its even possible. Like the old folks would say leave home go somewhere else.
I Know! So Weird, eh?!
Dont worry, every summer their get a compensation
Spring and summer more than make up for it though.
Imagine eternity without God.. That'll suck.
Last winter I was at Helsinki airport for like 12 hours and it was like this. Very strange day as it looked like sunset all day.
Looks very nice with the snow cover and the sun being low in the sky all day. It makes the snow look beautiful and orange. This is definitely not depressing in my opinion.
Much more positive than on a polar night!
Thanks for posting!
Amazing Video! For the first time I felt how might it feel living in Alaska during the winter solstice!
Very nicely framed with solar noon happening right above the road in the middle of the screen :)
Although, these cold and short days on northern latitudes around this time of the year are depressing, the good news is that things can only get brighter going forward, hello sunshine and warmth...
Amazing vedio , salutes to the human who survived such extreme conditions by adopting to nature
Crazy how the sun skims the horizon
Beautiful
Awesome footage!! 😍
Wow! Thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you! I really enjoyed that!!!
Sunset at 2:40 PM? Yikes!... I still wanna visit to Fairbanks though!
Go on summer time! Soon you will miss the night, lol.
@@soniccinos Midnight sun seems fun tho!
Where is Mrs Fairbanks
@@soniccinos 😆
@@ShellymanStudios 😎
That was an amazing time-lapse video.
Holy cow that is so trippy
Just amazing
Got yourself a nice little semi viral video there! Good job! After the solstice they gain 10 minutes a day there. I've only been there once, last April. It was still near full day at 10 pm
Thank you for this beautiful Post...Happy New Year to You...
when you build a site you never know what response you will receive. Thank you HYN to you as well.
I think it's beautiful nature comes with its own beauty and people that are there embrace it 💜💜
Amazing timelapse and beautiful music. Thanks for sharing. I've liked it 💙💙
I lived on Ft. Wainwright from 1981-1983. I remember this well. It wasn't much better in Minnesota.
Wow what's the pop there.
Really cool. I always wondered what this was like.
That’s gnarly man sheesh
What a cool video! I've been wondering what it's like there now, thanks!

So cool
Awesome! 👍
🤝
So it's a constant sunrise/set for a few hours, that's so fascinating
Amazing shot
Made me think
Thats nice man its like a 3 hour sunrise then sunset!
wow~!!!
beautiful timelapse video~~!!
😅👍
Winter solstice here in Whitehorse Yukon canada at 61 degrees north latitude.
Daylight hours: 11:09-16:47. 5 hours and 38 minutes of sunlight
Nighttime hours: 16:47-11:09. 18 hours and 22 minutes of twilight and dark.
not really. the Sun is not a lightbulb. it is not completely pitch dark until 10:07. Likely on a clear day, there is going to be a fairly substantial period of twilight, and depending on how bright you would want it that twilight can add at least another 2 hours of semi-light, minimum, if not more. Even beyond the artic circle, there are still at least a few hours of visible light.
im at 42 deg north basically exactly and for me its
daylight: 7:30-16:37 (9 hours 7 min)
civil twilight (start/end): 6:58-17:09
nautical twilight (start/end): 6:23-17:44
astronomical twilight (start/end): 5:49-18:18
night (but actually): 18:19-5:48 (14 hours 53 min)
nice video. Thanks for posting
Thank you Anne
good video, thanks for sharing
👍
Crazy how we are actually revolving around the sun not the other way around lol
Righttttttt🌍
Surrrrre we are.
My thought exactly 🤔
@@sagesolomon8070 The earth is not flat. Point blank period.
@@melisa4516 yes it isnt
Nice time lapse.
🤝
Great video, have you done one such video in Barrow (Utqiagvik)? Winter Solstice with no sunrise/sunset, but about 3 hours of civil daylight.
I like how the sun is basically just walking by
🎉🎉happy new yaer!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Not new year
It’s before 4 years video
Nice job, 3 more days
Amazing
Good video
Best part... no flatearther can explain why the Sun appears to go up and down as it moves along the horizon.
NICE VID!
Which is not true. The closer the sun comes to the observer, the higher it's on the sky and because it's coming a little closer in the noonday even in Alaska, it appears to go up. SImple perspective.
@@wurzelbert84wucher5 LOL... you just suggested the Sun does not move in a circle around the N. Pole.. an excellent self-debunk in one sentence!
Show me where Alaska is on the map of Earth you use.
@@tjjones621 You have no clue how the sun works in the flat earth model, here is a simply graphic: www.bellingcat.com/app/uploads/2017/06/unnamed.png
@@wurzelbert84wucher5 Your graphic.... is a globe projection. Whip out the map YOU use to drive around, zoom out, swipe over to Australia and apologize for being gullible enough to fall for the FE prank while holding a map of Earth in your hand.

@@wurzelbert84wucher5 LOL, each of the flatheads seem to use a different map. They have a goofy explanation for everything but don't even know the size of their own "world"
simplesmente a perfeição! viva o Deus SOL!
Nice one
🤝
had a Dream about This
That‘s where I wanna live!
Wow alaska has very cold and short days in the winter in The summer it’s like 23 hours long
Natural nature is a funny thing my friend
I hope I can live in that place someday
Same thing in northern Finland, there are days the sun doesn't rise at all. I'm always super tired during winter.
.Brasil é privilegiado por ter o sol bem a cima das nossas cabeças ❤️
I love alaska
I love high school football in Alaska big hits.
I experienced it for the first time this past winter, it was insane...I just moved to Wasilla, Alaska
How was coping with it? Was it Depressing? I think it would be kinda cool
@@therealchicken7395 seeing it in a video and experiencing it 24/7 is completely different. I got depressed somewhat, but I got a sun lamp that I use 30 minutes a day in winter. it helps coping
@Lisa Surlie yes exactly
where i live during the winter solstice theres about 9.5-10 hours of daylight during the winter solstice and around 14.5 in the summer solstice
Even in colorado it feels almost like this. I know its not that bad, but still noon on december 21st looks like a summer sunset
GOOD point the Rocke's are know for its brutal nature
It’s because of the low sun angle that’s why in the summer in the afternoon the sun literally burns your skin because its angle is higher and the uv rays are stronger
How awful. I could never live like that. Perpetual depression.
There's generally enough snow that its not pitch dark. Plus the northern lights are a great bonus!
Just a reminder some didn't get a choice.
@Luca 😆😆🙏
At least one would have the long days of summer as compensation.
The only bad thing would be the cold but I would love to live somewhere where the sun either last just a few hours or doesn't come out at all like in polar nights.
Don't trust the light, the darkness is better.
5 minutes more... 🥱🥱😴😴😴
This is the perfect place for this excuse!!
😆😆😆😆😆😆😎
I wonder how the shortwave reception is there during those long evening hours
Awesome! Subscribing now & will be checking your others out! This is beautiful!
Was there in July........... sun is up for 20+ hours..........
Not sure
In what direction and location we’re you filming?
I want to experience this so bad, cus where I'm from it is a tropical weather so i see the sun a lot.
*Let the Sunshine In.*
My dream going here
whats the name of the music track? please tell me
Was stationed in Anchorage for 2 years. That actually looked lighter than I remember it. 1969/70. Hated the winter, LOVED the summer, just the opposite.
Wow " 1st thank you for your service. What is it like when it's not like this.
@@jayseals9273 in the winter there is only a couple of hours where it’s like that and the rest of the time it’s dark. Now during the summer, just the opposite, there is only a couple of hours where it’s like twilight then daylight. It’s took a while to be able to sleep when it was daylight during the night. We actually played baseball on base at midnight and didn’t need the field lights.
We're getting closer to the vernal equinox!

The sun only gets to 2 degrees above the horizon at solar noon.

Winter Solstice in Fairbanks, Alaska
Dec 17, 2012
Dawn: 10am
Dusk: 4:30pm
a whole day of sunrise, feels strange
Good memories from 1958-1962
Wow" does it still look the same to you.
what an actual bliss... I hate white fucking nights and miss darkness
What is the music, great video also!
I know how depressing that darkness is, as a finn i can relate to that.
As long as I can come and go no worries but to be stuck with that choice is beyond depressing in my opinion.
Beautiful Videography!!!
Thanks so much fir posting this video recording.
I will repost to my friends and relatives in Moscow Russian Federation and my personal social network
Fairfield Connecticut O6825 USA 🇺🇸
😎✌️🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇸
Sunrise 10:54AM
Sunset 2:40PM
Daylight on 3:40hrs
Do not reply anything
Sun is like . GM everybody.. stretching to the right... oppss time to go to bed.. GN everybody
And now the days are getting longer.....
Up to 3 hr and 45 minutes? 😆
Thanks for your feedback
when's best mnth for nrthrn lights i was plng december chena hot sprgs
Although, in the summer, the day length reaches up to almost 21 hours and 50 minutes with a sunset at 12:47 am and a sunrise at 2:57 am. Pretty insane!
Sat/01/15/2022 at 20:55 EST.
The rest of the world has golden hour, Fairbanks has golden three hours and forty minutes
So could this be described as a flash in the pan?
David Gagnon once daylight savings hits is when the darkness really sets in, but now that Solstice has come we will start gaining daylight again little by little. Come March it’s all balanced out again (equinox time).
Great feedback and knowledge of the Location is awesome.
I hate going to work during sunrise and sunset
😆😆😆😆
The 2:40 pm sunset would pass for 5 pm if we didn’t know any better.
How many days the sun moves like this? 🤔
If this was the solstice...then the answer is 1. The day before there was slightly more daylight, the day before that, slightly more by around 1 minute. This day is the the least amount if daylight. Every day after this day there is about 1minute more daylight until the summer solstice, in June when the sun rises at 3am and sets at 1am. After that date, each day is slight less daylight by about a minute until the winter solstice
this doesnt appear as dark and bleak as some people make the winters sound. most people make it sound like its pitch black outside for 85% of the day in winter.
Fairbanks, Alaska
Great place to grow up and be paid well, but after that you have to go.
OMG 😃😭
Sunrise around 10:30am or 10:30
Sunset around 2:30pm or 14:30
Same as in central Norway, but Fairbanks has much colder winters.
Sun be like:
Hi
Bye
😅😅😆
😂😂😂😂🙏🙏
💘💘💕💕💖💖
It is very weird seeing how the sun is got sideways and not up- Alaska is a amazing place
How could anyone live here
Bruh, that would be the fastest fasting ever in Ramadhan
Daylight for 3 hours is a god sin, my eyes can't tolerate sunlight. Now.. does sunlight happen longer than a normal day in Fairbanks for a part of the year though? Or is it constantly a regular 6am-9pm sunlight hour in "regular" months with that aberrant dimming happening for a few weeks or months? I really hate wearing sunglasses.
no, in the winter months it is like this, but in the summer it barely gets dark at all even at 2 am. in the spring and fall though, its normal
21-ish hours of daylight in the summer, with a few hours of twilight. (Never completely dark) In Fairbanks they celebrate being part of the Land of the Midnight Sun by playing a baseball game at like 3 AM because it's light enough outside to play. Spring and Fall are "normal" daylight and darkness schedules.
I'd like to see the moon.
Only 3 hours, sucks!
