Estás viendo una fotografía del mediodía en Utqiagvik.

Así es, desde el 16 de noviembre hasta el 23 de enero del 2024, esta ciudad de Alaska no volverá a ver la luz del sol. Un fenómeno inusual que solo lo "sufren" unas pocas ciudades del mundo. Utqiagvik es especial porque es la que más tiempo permanece en total oscuridad.

Excerpt from this story from the Washington Post:

The northernmost city in the United States set a single-day rainfall record on Tuesday as a sprawling storm blasted Alaska, yet another recent precipitation record in a corner of the world uniquely gripped by climate change. The storm also sent powerful winds gusting across the Alaskan interior, with widespread tree damage in Fairbanks.

Utqiagvik, a city of 5,000 formerly known as Barrow, saw 1.42 inches of rain on Tuesday, more than any other day in more than 100 years of record keeping, surpassing 1.28 inches from a rainstorm in July 1987.

At 71 degrees north latitude, the community, located on a peninsula that juts into the Arctic Ocean, is among the northernmost permanently inhabited places in the world.

The significance of the record was noted by meteorologists and climatologists in Fairbanks. “Utqiagvik has only recorded over 1.00 inch of rain two other times since records began there in 1920,” wrote the National Weather Service office in Fairbanks in a statement.

The record is especially remarkable considering Utqiagvik’s typically dry climate; its annual precipitation is just 5.39 inches.

Rick Thoman, a climate expert at the University of Alaska’s International Arctic Research Center, wrote in an email that the Utqiagvik record was yet another example of intensified precipitation in the state amid a warming climate; he said another top-10 rainfall day occurred in Utqiagvik just last September.

En Alaska se ocultó el Sol y no saldrá hasta el 23 de Enero de 2024

Utqiagvik, Alaska (conocido formalmente como Barrow) se sumergió desde este 17 de noviembre en la oscuridad polar que durará los próximos dos meses. Hoy, el sol se pondrá en la ciudad de alrededor de 4,300 residentes para el tiempo final de 2023. El próximo amanecer será el 23 de enero de 2024. Ese es un período de 67 días de oscuridad total. Cientos de millas al norte del Círculo Polar Ártico,…

Utqiaġvik!! Or, formerly known as Barrow. Ive been thinking about him recently cuz they’re very interesting, and honestly somehow a little eery, being so casually isolated and cold and dry and vast, and despite that around 5,100 people live there, it’s interesting!

And such, Utqiagvik is a little eery himself I like to imagine. Because it can be fun u_u unfortunately Portlock’s reaction to being startled was a fight response. Sorry Utkpik, it will happen again.

Also, Utqiaġvik has an alternate spelling, Ukpiaġvik, adopted by the Ukpeaġvik Iñupiat Corporation. The alternate spelling comes from the word Ukpik, which means “snowy owl” so. Little baby owl friend it is. And calling Utqiagvik “Ukpik” for short, technically

(They do look like a sickly ghostly child in the last sketch but that’s on everything being so damn expensive up in there 🙄 and projecting willow.)

The Klaine Reverse Prompt Challenge 2023

Prompt 27:

AU Newspaper columnist Kurt Hummel has become a little jaded after being left at the altar by his fiance. His editor decides Kurt needs a break from covering New York city life, and sends him to the Northernmost town in America, Utqiagvik, Alaska, to cover their 4th of July celebration. Kurt isn't impressed with the small town, and the residents keep telling him to take his complaints to the Mayor. Blaine Anderson is the youngest Mayor ever elected in the town, and Kurt is vexed by his boyish good looks and overly enthusiastic demeanor. Of course, he is eventually worn down by Blaine’s debonair charm and infectious laugh. Slight age gap.

How do you choose which cities to use for the events? (Winter solstice and new year?)

For the winter solstice, I knew I wanted to include Utqiagvik and Longyearbyen because of just how far north they are, and then I chose the rest by filtering submissions. There weren’t many cities that fit my criteria for this one (at least 62°N), so I think I included all or close to all of the ones that qualified. I also added Iqualuit because I wanted a Canadian city and there weren’t any far enough north.

I created the new year queue in a late night burst of energy and honestly, no clue how I chose which submissions to use. Vibes I guess. Some cities that weren’t submitted were included to cover more time zones, especially over the Pacific.

While blazing-hot summers and stormy autumns come with their own dangers, scientists say winter is actually the fastest-warming season. Snowfall is decreasing across the Northeast, the flakes slowly replaced by raindrops. The Great Lakes have experienced a 22 percent drop in maximum ice cover since 1973, and are frozen for a shorter percentage of the year. In December 2022, Utqiagvik, the northernmost city in Alaska, posted its warmest winter temperature ever at 40 degrees Fahrenheit, a full 36 degrees above the frigid average for that time of year.

. . .

These incremental changes alter the way we celebrate holidays, the way we get dressed to go outside, and even, on a deep level, the way we feel. The philosopher Glenn Albrecht has coined the term “solastalgia,” or “the homesickness we feel while still at home,” to describe the disorientation some of us experience as the planet we once knew changes drastically around us.

winter is warming rapidly because of human-caused climate change and it’s having an impact on snow, tourism, winter sports, local economies, dinner plates and even allergies.

"Hi Alaska! It's cool to meet you! Can you tell us anything about yourself?"

"Oh, hello there, and it's cool to meet you too! Hmm let's see though, my human name is Annika Senungetuk, I currently live in Utqiagvik which is like super close to the most northern spot in the US and I have eight dogs...sorry that was probably way too much information."
