On the plus side you get to enjoy the midnight sun. It's a pretty unique experience. And now you have an excuse to visit again!

Not quite midnight sun, but one of the most magical experiences of my life was staying up all night on the side of a proglacial river and watching the sun go down... just to have it come up again an hour or so later a couple mountains to the right. It never even fully went down, which is why I never fully went to sleep.

I live in such an area. The sun technically goes down for a few hours every night in the summer - but it stays just below the horizon. I can read outside at night, and it is more akin to night being a few hours of early sunset that bleeds into late sunrise.

It was honestly more magical 9 or 10 years ago when I first got here, but I still enjoy it.

It'll be about 20-ish hours of daylight I think with the rest being civil twilight. I'm only making it as far north as Fairbanks on this trip.
