  It never gets properly dark around the solstice at this latitude — nineteen hours of daylight and a long blue dusk that runs into dawn. People play golf and paddle at midnight because they can.

  Dark enough to see the lights from late August until the light comes back in spring, with a break either side of the solstice when it never really gets dark. Get out of the city glow and up the Klondike Highway.
