00:03Hi Dinesian, you are back watching Intermeso, I am Sulfi Tribahar.
00:08Dinesian, Utqiagvik is a city in Alaska which is nicknamed the city without sun.
00:15Hmm, without the sun? Let's just take a look at the information.
00:19Imagine if you lived in a city without sunlight for 2 months, or even more.
00:26This is what happened in Utqiagvik, a small town in the northern tip of Alaska, United States.
00:34This unique phenomenon is called polar night, which occurs every year from mid-November to the end of January.
00:45The long night in Utqiagvik is caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis relative to the sun.
00:51During winter, the north pole tilts away from the sun, causing its rays to not reach Utqiagvik for long periods.
01:00Apart from being a city without sun, this city also experiences the midnight sun phenomenon,
01:05where the entire city will be illuminated by sunlight for 24 hours or more.
01:11In the past, this small town was called Berow.
01:14In 2016, its name was changed to Utqiagvik in an effort to preserve the language and culture of the Inupiak, an Alaska Native people.
