In the Northern Hemphisphere, June 21 is the longest day of the year and marks the official beginning of summer. Today the North Pole is tipped more toward the sun than on any other day of 2011. Summer solstice is a huge deal for Alaskans after a long, dark, cold winter. Today the sun only technically sets for a couple of hours and it never even gets dark.
It's quite the thing to witness.
