- 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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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
Wow it's like a pretty sunrise/sunset the entire time
Fr! Golden hour for 4 hours?? Sign me up!
You would get bored of it eventually
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.
In the summer at North Pole, the Sun is a few degrees higher in the sky than this and rotating counterclockwise at the horizon.
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
That was an amazing time-lapse video.
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 😎
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.
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.
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)
How do flat-earthers explain this?
I'm guessing they say the disc wobbles around or something. :)
Flat-earthers have observable proof of a flat and stationary earth.
The spinning globe is a belief, blind faith in charlatans and alleged observations from space that are impossible to be true.
BTW: The spinning globe already lost in court.
You can't have observable proof of a belief.
Glenn Robards could say the same shit about your point of view
@@glennrobards585 Do you honestly think no one has found "the edge" after thousands of years. Come on...
@@jaychen2000metal Earth is a closed system.
Even Bill Nye the science lie knew that.
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...
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
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.
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 lived on Ft. Wainwright from 1981-1983. I remember this well. It wasn't much better in Minnesota.
Wow what's the pop there.
Awesome! Subscribing now & will be checking your others out! This is beautiful!
What a cool video! I've been wondering what it's like there now, thanks!

I hate going to work during sunrise and sunset
😆😆😆😆
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
And now the days are getting longer.....
Up to 3 hr and 45 minutes? 😆
Thanks for your feedback
Was there in July........... sun is up for 20+ hours..........
Not sure
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.
@@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"
It's simple glober! The sun is hiding behind the ice wall and merely peaking every few minutes in a form of peek a boo with the earth, checkmate!!!
Amazing vedio , salutes to the human who survived such extreme conditions by adopting to nature
Much more positive than on a polar night!
Thanks for posting!
Great video, have you done one such video in Barrow (Utqiagvik)? Winter Solstice with no sunrise/sunset, but about 3 hours of civil daylight.
Amazing Video! For the first time I felt how might it feel living in Alaska during the winter solstice!
what an actual bliss... I hate white fucking nights and miss darkness
Awesome footage!! 😍
RIP flat earth society!
Why? This would look exactly the same in a flat model.
@@wurzelbert84wucher5 how..?
Earth is flat. 😎😎😎
It is exactly on the flat earth since the sun in winter moves away in its circulation for the summer in Australia being inside the copula. Neither the H2O clearer
@@abhishekjha4735 Kkkkk
Thats nice man its like a 3 hour sunrise then sunset!
The sun only gets to 2 degrees above the horizon at solar noon.

good video, thanks for sharing
👍
So it's a constant sunrise/set for a few hours, that's so fascinating
Holy cow that is so trippy
I want to experience this so bad, cus where I'm from it is a tropical weather so i see the sun a lot.
In what direction and location we’re you filming?
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.
Crazy how the sun skims the horizon
The rest of the world has golden hour, Fairbanks has golden three hours and forty minutes
I've lived my entire life at 20 degrees latitude and going through winters in Connecticut and Massachusetts gave me light-deprivation depression. I don't think I could deal with winter in Fairbanks.
simplesmente a perfeição! viva o Deus SOL!
Same thing in northern Finland, there are days the sun doesn't rise at all. I'm always super tired during winter.
nice video. Thanks for posting
Thank you Anne
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
Awesome! 👍
🤝
What a horrible place to live.
Ikr
Sun be like:
Hi
Bye
😅😅😆
😂😂😂😂🙏🙏
5 minutes more... 🥱🥱😴😴😴
This is the perfect place for this excuse!!
😆😆😆😆😆😆😎
Why does anybody live there. I would be perpetually frightened of being permanently cut off from the rest of the world in the dead of winter with no power and little supplies. It must feel like living on the moon.
i find it beautiful, so idk
@@chickenbokernot2598 I never said anything about it not being beautiful, bear in mind some of the most beautiful places on Earth are the most dangerous.... Also the most beautiful places in the universe are most certainly uninhabitable.
@@charlesdarwin7253 ok, but i never said that you said it wasnt beautiful
@@chickenbokernot2598 ok let's not delve into a semantic conversation here, have a nice day.
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.
Amazing shot
Made me think
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.
.Brasil é privilegiado por ter o sol bem a cima das nossas cabeças ❤️
I wouldn't want to visit Alaska in the winter. Their days are very short and cold. The darkness makes me feel depressed
wow~!!!
beautiful timelapse video~~!!
😅👍
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!

Winter Solstice in Fairbanks, Alaska
Dec 17, 2012
Dawn: 10am
Dusk: 4:30pm
That’s gnarly man sheesh
Good memories from 1958-1962
Wow" does it still look the same to you.
Life must be great for muslims who live in alaska during ramadan
Amazing timelapse and beautiful music. Thanks for sharing. I've liked it 💙💙
I wish somebody would track the
summer solstice and then winter
solstice, do a side-by-side, of course
speed up summer, finally shut the
flat Earthers up! I’ve seen these
idiots before,Replying : if they
lived in Alaska they wouldn’t be
flat Earthers! Thanks for the video,
Cheers and best wishes….
We're getting closer to the vernal equinox!

😎✌️🇷🇺⚔️🇺🇸
Good video
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
Only 3 hours, sucks!

I love alaska
I love high school football in Alaska big hits.
Beautiful
Nice job, 3 more days
Amazing
Visited a couple years ago in September. Sooooo 🥶cold!!! I hear the mosquitoes are a buzzing mob. I guess if you're a hunter it's a great place. Also seems like crime has increased. Think I'll pass.
I wonder how the shortwave reception is there during those long evening hours
My sisters are in Alaska
I’ve never met a flat earthier irl.
Sun is like . GM everybody.. stretching to the right... oppss time to go to bed.. GN everybody
Fairbanks, Alaska
Great place to grow up and be paid well, but after that you have to go.
Nice time lapse.
🤝
That is so WRONG. It would really be depressing if it was a cloudy day.
GOOD response makes you think what if.
In northern Europe it's that but cloudy for months.
The 2:40 pm sunset would pass for 5 pm if we didn’t know any better.
That‘s where I wanna live!
Good and with very big wow
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.
What is the music, great video also!
Bruh, that would be the fastest fasting ever in Ramadhan
Really cool. I always wondered what this was like.
me living in tropical country:
huh? :/
I like how the sun is basically just walking by
Still better than Svalbard or Longyearbyen..
i saw that car for a milion times
I hope I can live in that place someday
had a Dream about This
Thank you! I really enjoyed that!!!

My dream going here
a whole day of sunrise, feels strange
