Sun returned to Barrow on January 23 after 2 long months of being gone!
"The sun returned to Barrow yesterday after a two-month absence and seemed to linger longer than it should have, thanks to a mirage known as the "false sunrise."
Some couldn't see it: Ice fog above buildings and homes cloaked the sun in parts of town, but daylight was noticeably more significant, they said.
Others saw the sun clearly, glowing brilliant and orange.
"It just feels like a new chapter in life," said Mustafa Iflazoglu, general manager at the Top of the World Hotel.
He stepped outside the hotel and into the 40-below cold for a quick glimpse.
"It just warms the heart and mind," he said.
Rich Lomire, a weather observer with the National Weather Service, said the sun officially rose at 1:05 p.m. and set at 2:14 p.m. It hadn't risen since Nov. 18."
(Thanks Carrie B! who is keeping it awesome at the top of the world)
