Winter Solstice in the Arctic. Fairbanks, Alaska. Time-lapse video.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 дек 2009
- Fairbanks, Alaska - This time-lapse video shows the entire day (3 hours and 49 minutes) in two minutes. It was shot one week after the actual Winter Solstice (the shortest day of the year in Earth's Northern Hemisphere on December 21). Only 100 miles from the Arctic Circle, this video looks south at the Alaska Mountain Range and shows sunrise through sunset. The video includes pre-dawn (one-half hour before sunrise) and dusk (one-half hour after sunset). Copyright Eric Muehling 2009. All rights reserved. Available in high-definition. Original frames were shot in 10-second intervals with a Canon D30 SLR (raw format).

Pretty exciting race between the sun and the video scroll bar
Dan Smith - lmao
Lol xD
I watch in theater mode, sun never stood a chance
Jeffrey Gassenheimer tttttt
It practically looks like a sunset the entire time. lol
I particularly appreciated seeing the solar azimuth, and altitude, as well as the exact times of sunrise, sunset and solar noon. Thanks so much!
my favorite part of the day. all day long.
Anyone else having problems with the music continually fading in and out on this vid?
Nor could I, really. Just seemed like a nice wee tune.
Steven McBrien: yes.
Personally, I would redo the audio, maybe using the second or else the final movement from Holst's "The Planets," or perhaps Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings. Nevertheless, like the rest of you, I didn't care that much about the audio. Being a musician, adding audio is something I would have done simply as a matter of course.
This is so beautiful. I love the reminder that yes, we are on a tilted planet hurtling through space around our little star.
Thanks Eric, for a trip down memory lane! 25 years in Alaska, 18 of those in Fairbanks, were the best times of my life. I will always return to visit.....maybe to stay. Outstanding video!
Oh wow...how depressing to have almost no sunlight during winter... Winter is cold and depressing enough as it is, but no sunlight? F that, I'll stay in NY lol
it is quite depressing to be honest, but then again in the summer it's inverted.
I live in Fairbanks and I personally love the winter. Imagine the whole day being the color of a sunset. Beautiful
@@samibitat9693 I agree. The emotions it will give you,will make you feel like you're connected to nature.
I'd love it.
What usually thins out the new herd.
Thanks for posting this. I love watching how sunrise and sunset are condensed together within a few short hours. It must be beautiful to watch.
I went to Fairbanks in Aug 08. I stood outside the Westmark hotel and said "I must see this place in winter." This past winter I did just that. It was -30, gorgeous! (Also went to Anchorage and Kotzebue same trip.) Alaska in summer is beautiful, but Alaska in winter is spectacular. I will come back again.... in winter...I watch this video a lot, it calms my soul.
Excellent. I saw the inverse of this in mid July 2009 when I rode my cycle up to Deadhorse and back - Atigun pass was spectacular with the sun never setting - thanks for a great video!
This is so beautiful and oh so long ago I was lucky enough to see something very similar while in Tuktoyuktuk - magic!
I know you didn't think about it , but you were at that moment living out the dreams of so many people. Including mine.
spectacular! I really like the way the clouds move in, wonderful lapse.
never underestimated the fact that I can enjoy a longer day... untill now ;) thank you!
I know you didn't think about it but at that moment you were living the dream of thousands of people. Me being one of them.
Thanks for the video, I love to see the sun o the horizon. It's a beautiful hue and a comfort to me. I miss it awfully when we're not there. Sig
Great video. It shows just what a winter's day is like in Fairbanks. Thanks.
This is a vampire's paradise
saudster59 Well . . . until the *summer* solstice, when the sun only sets for 4 hours.
Feast or Famine
@@KneelB4Bacon They can just go to Antarctica for the northern Summer :)
It would be horrible from May through July however with no real night at all.
They hibernate in that 3 months of long summer days.
I love this video, thank you. Makes you wistful for the sun, and the music is very lovely too.
So beautiful.
On the bright side, on summer, is bright all day along!!!
Thank you!
MOst fastest Ramadan Fasting Schedule

Haha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Razian Amira lol
Thanks for sharing this beautiful footage , hope to see more Great Job ;)
Nice video Eric. You have me missing Fairbanks more than ever. Hats off.
Actually, just found out the song
It's "Infinity - Beyond the Clouds (Au-Delà Des Nuages)"
If anyone wanted to know.
Wow.... That's really amazing.... great great video....
awesome thanks for sharing
I love this! Thanks!
fantastic!!
That's one short day! Nice lapse!
very cool.
Gotta love UAF and it's dark winters.
This sounds great !
Sun will rise for 15 minutes today in northernmost Finland (Utsjoki,496km/308 miles north of arctic circle) and will be seen above the horizon again January 17th. Hello to our arctic circle brothers in Alaska(USA),Yukon(CAN),Northwest Territories(CAN),Nunavut(CAN),Greenland(DEN),Iceland(technically just south of arctic circle),Norway,Sweden,Murmansk(RUS),Republic of Karelia(RUS),Arkhangelsk(RUS),Komi Republic(RUS),Yamalo-Nenets(RUS),Krasnoyarsk(RUS),Sakha Republic(RUS) (size of India!) and Chukotka(RUS) (neigbour of Alaska).
+Bhaalspawn84 Krasnoyarsk? lolwhat???
Some eerie music choice you got here
This Universe amazes me... Nice video...
excellent video; i gotta get here once before i die....see these days for real.
sid77777 so would I!
That long night would make me crazy. Now the 24 hour daylight on the other end I'd love to experience
Craig Vanantwerp Me too
I'd hate the 24 hour daylight personally. It's bad enough in Northern England where we get around four and a half hours of darkness.
We have that
Just amazing! Greetings from Mexico.
It's fucking beautiful. Like a 3 and a half hour sunrise.
Very nice Eric I enjoyed it a lot. I had never seen it done with the new technology.
wow, it's like an all day sunrise.. (or sunset)
That's so beautiful! :)
Very nice video, I am familiar with the area that the timelapse was taken I lived there for 15 years before digital photos. Thank you for doing what I wanted to do back then...
The sun is extremely low to the horizon in such high latitudes.
superb...
everytime i see such a spectacle i almost cry.. i went from italy to live in sweden because of this...but i feel i'm not north enough..maybe i'm crazy..i feel that north is calling me!!
Awesome video😀🌞
Awesome!!
I was going to take a vacation to North pole in January, but decided to turn the air down to -10, lock myself in the closet and turn off all the lights. La vida loca, baby!
Thank you for demonstrating the earth as a rotating globe! Flat Earther's maintain that an Arctic midnight sun is indisputable proof of a flat earth, but they will ignore videos like this that suggest the tilt of the North pole away from the sun. A 3 hour, 49 minute long day with the sun that low in the sky demonstrates that the south pole would be continuously lit and must be experiencing very long days, and as the Earth rotates it will plunge much of the Arctic circle into rough 20 hour nights.
The Phaneron what the f are u talking about. this proves flat earth
*+djmiamamma* Lmao no it doesn't. If earth was flat the sun could sink no lower than 12.9 degrees above the horizon at it's lowest point, and in the Arctic circle it could never sink lower than a whopping 28.7 degrees below the horizon at it's lowest point. It would be midnight sun everywhere, all the time!
djmiamamma Ignore the shill. The fucktard shill is pretending to have never heard of perspective, angular resolution limits, light dispersion, atmo"spheric" lensing, and refraction.
Tarek EL Derbas Shill? Really? Based on your FE with the sun circling above the equator, he’s right. The sun, from there in Alaska, would never drop below around 25-30 degrees above the horizon. This video shows it visible for only 4 hours a day at this time of year. And then its visible for 20 hours a day 6 months later. Please explain to me how both of those can happen at the same time if the earth is flat. And perspective can’t make the sun drop below the horizon and come back up on the other side of the planet.
A 3 hour, 49 minute long day in the North only means that if there's a 3 hour, 49 minute long night at the same time & latitude S, and the Sun appears to traverse in the opposite direction, we are on some sort of spheroid.
Beautiful I love long nights like that and I love the dawn hours! So beautiful that time of day. I wish it were like here in San diego, ca. By the way, what's the tune on the video called? I like the music! 😊
AMAZING
I liked music...unique. Went well with video.
Obviously not in the 4-5 central hours because of the elipse but "only in the early morning and in the late afternoon" . In the central hours 3-4 degrees, the difference is enormous
so, more dark time than light? perfect cycle!
And then it’s light out all day for at least 10 weeks
I spent two winters station at Eielson AFB just south of Fairbanks. The winter days were short and cold, not much sunlight. This video is 100% true.
It looks like one long early morning! Spectacular! In Russia we have short days too, but it gets brighter than this.
That’s just where you live in Russia because there’s a range of latitudes within Russia.

Wow, stunning video, I always wanted to do what you have done. I left in 1987 and the technology was'nt affordable. Notice how the wisps of heating exhaust tracks the Sun's movement. Caused by gravity.
Thanks for the footage😇Earth is flat.. and 24 hour sun in the summer the couple southern hemisphere videos are looped with 10-12 hours missing
Unless you watched videos of these guys going to the Geographic North and South Poles then you believe the Earth is in a round and not flat unlike you
😂😂🤣🤣🤣👍
So do you have to go to work in the dark? what about school time?
Obviously. Just because there’s the winter darkness, it doesn’t mean that you just stay home all day. You also go outside in the dark too, and that goes for pretty much anywhere and not just Fairbanks, AK. I live in NY and I have to ride my bike in the dark if it’s later into the afternoon in early December (and just around then in general because the sunsets at 16:27, Civil Dusk is at 16:57, Nautical Dusk is at 17:31, and Astronomical Dusk is at 18:05, so it’s already dark out by the 17:20s, and I don’t let it stop me from going outside.

Nice !
If I was there in the winter time I would be depressed but interested at the same time
You guys that live in Alaska...you are amazing people to me because I had no clue that this actually happens! Amazing! I guess you have to be born and raised there to get used to something like that? I'm from the east coast of the U.S. and we have sun up and sun down. Not "sun" barely above the horizon then "sunset" at 2 in the afternoon??? I think I would go crazy lol.
It is something to get used to, just like 5 or less hours of darkness in the summer and 24 hours of daylight at Barrow.
toyoscio I would like to experience that one day in the winter haha. I want to see the northern lights. I seen it on youtube and i can honestly say it is pretty freaky... but its also beautiful. The sun barely reached the horizon, but it was pretty. You should go to Alaska in the summer if this will drive you crazy. In the summer, the sun sets at 9pm! And the sunrises like at 5 6 or 7? It's a big difference. I went to Alaska in the summer and I was like what time is it? I was like omigosh! its 9 and the sun is still up. I really loved that.
Dude up in barrow no sunlight in December all sun from may to August I’ve experienced it for 10 years it’s pretty cool =)
Scarpia9111 well you now know it's not possible on a spinning ball...#FLAT

good video.
Very nicely done, thanks for sharing it. I share crobisonak sentiment.
Soooo beautifully done! Thank you for sharing Gods beauty and your talent to capture it!
whats the name of the music?
omg i live in fair banks!!! well i used to at ages 2-5
Wow! That is really short! In Singapore, the sun rises at 6.20am and sets only at 6.50pm
But not on the winter solstice though.

Just wondering if this was overlooking the West Tanana Drive?
Yes. This time-lapse video was made with still images, each shot about 10-seconds apart. Good luck on your own video.
Thanks for the video Eric. Curious to know. How do people cope with a 60+ day in Burbank i.e. school, work, sports, social activities, etc, or is Alaska more like a tourism town? Is there a reason why it is mainly dark in Alaska compared to the rest of the world?
It would be really nice to hear from you Eric?
It’s mainly light in Alaska compared to the rest of the world because the shallow arc of the sun moving in the sky makes it take longer for the sun to finish going below the horizon, plus twilight lasts a lot longer. However, it’s just that it’s darker in the winter, but the amount of extra daylight above 12 hours in the summer compared to below 12 in the winter is more, plus the equinoxes have something above 12:12 or sm instead of 12:06 like the equator, and then twilight lasts longer ofc especially around the solstices and even way more so in the summer to the point that there is hardly even Civil Twilight.
Also, the camera does make it look darker because the sky looks mid blue in the darkest parts right as it sets in this video, but irl, that doesn’t happen until after Civil Dusk at the beginning of Nautical Twilight.

Sunset all day nigga.
Has there ever been a video with a music track where someone doesn't ask the name of the song?
It is the same in England, very short days in winter, but worthit in the long summer days when the sun not set until 10pm :)
Also, there’s more light on average all year round the further away from the equator that you go, but it’s just that the amount of time that the geometric center of the sun spends at above 0.00° is equal to how long it’s below 0.00° for.

I am a college professor and lecturer. I would like you permission to use your winter solstice for a lecture on LIfe in Alaska.
May I?
Nice
It's my request.
Please add more interesting vedio about Alaska
It must be interesting to experience the progression of sunrise day by day from Solstice to Solstice, gaining (Summer) or losing (Winter) up to 10 minutes each day in the Northern hemisphere.
It’s up to 6:49 minutes each day
I wish to experience the winter solstice in Alaska.
I would love to see this right on or above the arctic circle on the 21st and the 24th of December.? It is nowhere online .
you just couldnt.. sun doea not appear there as the sun doesnt set during the summer
Edgars Cirulis Actually, sometimes it does. The sun it's self does not actually rise above the horizon; however, refractory rays of light can be bent and come over the horizon, giving the impression that the sun has risen. This happened one year in Kugaaruk, Nunavut, Canada, creating the impression that the sun had risen a week before it was expected to. People were quite puzzled.
Wow. Dark most of the day
What is the name of the song?
this makes you go hmmmmmmmmmmmm
@YummYakitori of course,because Singapore near the equator.
It is kind of weird to see the sun rise and set like this lol
It is said that December 21st 2012 is the same to this, right???
It’s very similar, but not exactly the same because this is the 28th.
Sat/02/13/2021 at 23:53
The Sun "goes" in elevation only a little more of a degree per hour . In a medium or medium law latitude goes minimum 7-8 degrees per hour
Hiya whats the music please
what happened to the music? it’s good but it keeps fading in and out
WOW!!!
you must put a date of record. so I 'll understand.
Wish I could be there
Sunrise 10:58 a.m. Azimuth 154 degrees.
Thank you.

ugh...up in Barrow the sun stays out for the entire summer and never sets then in november it finally does set and we dont see again til febuary....its crazy
S00nersx22 I take my hat off to people who can handle that! I could not!👍🎩
@palefacealaskan. I did this video for fun! It was a personal project made with my own equipment. I have good notes on how to do this, if you're interested. Definitely not work-related. Thanks for the "georgeous" comment!
Maybe it's little less than 2 degrees above the orizon because of the latitude
