In the vernal equinox, this year at the 21st of March, we were in principle having the same length of day over all the earth. Now we're going fast towards the time of the midnight sun. After the 2nd of April we're not having anymore dark time at nights and from the 19th of April we're enjoying the midnight sun day around. That is lasting all the way until the 22nd of August and first time there will be dark at night time in the 11th of September.
Seriously, is somebody thinking that it has to be miserably to be living in Longyearbyen with it's long dark time? I'm not agreeing that! Actually we're living in the land of the midnight sun, where that almost half a years light time is compensating better than well three months total darkness. I think we're having light enough in years time - then it's just a different issue to be talking if we have warm enough...
