Americans living in the nation’s northern-most city saw the sunset on Nov. 18, and they won’t see it rise again until Jan. 22, 2026.
Formerly known as Barrow, the town of Utquiagvik sits on Alaska’s Arctic Coast, about 300 miles north of the Arctic Circle and adjacent to Point Barrow, which is considered the northernmost point of all U.S. territory. It is home to nearly 5,000 people, most of whom are Inupiaq, a Native American people.
