December 2nd, 2024 🇨🇦
Inuvik, NT Canada
-34 Celsius
We only had 90 minutes of sun today, the official sunrise time was 12:59 PM, the sunset was 2:29 PM. Using my drone's ability to set waypoints I was able to take multiple photos from the same spot on three separate, and brief, flights. I then merged these photos into one shot to show the sun's trajectory over the course of 90 minutes.
December 4th will be our last day of sunshine before polar night starts for a month, at which point the sun will not come over the horizon. When the sun does return in early January the residents of Inuvik celebrate with the Sunrise Festival over the course of three days.
If you don't understand the concept of polar night please research it, it's fascinating!
