Alaska has days and nights like any other place- BUT- the further North you go, the more pronounced the difference in the length of days and nights. In winter, days get shorter and shorter, until around 21 Dec, the sun may only rise for a few minutes- or not at all. Again- how far North are you? Juneau will be very different from Point Barrow.

Alaska has very few roads primarily due to its vast and rugged terrain, which includes mountains, forests, and rivers that make construction challenging and expensive. Additionally, much of the state is sparsely populated, leading to limited demand for extensive road networks. The harsh climate and remote locations also contribute to the preference for air and water transport over road travel. As a result, many areas remain accessible only by plane or boat.
