In Alaska, the longest day occurs on or around June 21st, known as the summer solstice, when the sun is up for about 22 hours. Conversely, the longest night happens on or around December 21st, known as the winter solstice, when the sun may be up for only a few hours in some parts of Alaska.
10 to 14 days dependent on the speed of the ship. From Alaska to Kamchatka (in the summer only) is a few days less.
If you are flying, it will only take a few hours. If you are driving, probably two weeks or more.
Anywhere from a few seconds to hours.
Yes. About the same (maybe a few hours before/after?)
Antarctica's shortest days are in winter, when there are only a few hours of light in a day. However, during the summer, the days become very much longer, and there are only a few hours of night.Another AnswerDepending on where you are in Antarctica, you can have a day with no sunset and a day with no sunrise, in summer and winter, respectively. Anywhere south of 60 degrees South Latitude, this is true.
Its not always dark in Alaska. Below I have attached the month and how many hours of light we get during that month. What affects this though, is Alaska's location on the globe. It is tilted tword the sun part of the year and away from the sun the other part. Jan - 7.0 hours Feb - 9.1 hours Mar - 11.8 hours Apr - 14.7 hours May - 17.5 hours June - 19.5 hours July - 18.5 hours Aug - 15.8 hours Sep - 13.0 hours Oct - 10.1 hours Nov - 7.2 hours Dec - 5.5 hours This does not change over night when the month changes though. It changes a few minutes every night. -------------------------------------------------------- It should be noted that the amount of daylight/nighttime hours does vary depending on each location's proximity and relativity to the Arctic Circle. Some parts of Alaska, in fact, have a full 24 hours of daylight for up-to 85 consecutive days each year.

It is in North America and is only a few miles from Asia.
Has to do with the earths tilt and whether you live in the northern or southern hemisphere.
Yes. But it's not only in Alaska. The sun will remain over the horizon for all of the Earth that's north of the Arctic Circle for a few summer weeks. It's the flip side of not having any sun at all for a period of winter. Likewise on the Southern hemisphere, Everything South of the Antarctic circle will have continuous sun for a few weeks during their summer.
Alaska is only a few months older then Hawaii.
Summer solstice is an important time for Milton Keynes because Milton Keynes is located at a far northern latitude, therefore there are only a few hours of darkness. The neo-pagans of Milton Keynes hold a summer solstice celebration there.
