Questions on Alaska?

Anchorage, Alaska:The least amount of functional daylight we get during the winter is seven hours and 35 minutes, and that occurs on Winter Solstice, usually around December 21. Anchorage gains daylight rapidly until Summer Solstice, which occurs around June 21 and we have nearly 24 hours of functional daylight. Temperatures range from an average low of 20 F /-7 C in the winter, to an average high of nearly 70 F/18 C during the summer.The best time to see the northern lights, or “aurora borealis” is during a cold, clear winter night. Some of the animals that you might see in the Anchorage area are moose, beaver, and black bear.
