The real dark winter: The final sunset in Utqiagvik, Alaska until 2021

We have been hearing a lot of people and politicians throw the phrase “dark winter” around as of late. They ain’t seen no dark winter until they are in Utqiagvik for 66 days starting now.

Or we will look back at 2020 and relish in the thought of just how great it was after all.
