6 Awesome Alaska Summer Sunsets. Number 6 Shows You What Its Like

Most people never get to experience what its like to live in the land of the midnight sun! Even living in Anchorage the sunsets as late as 11:45pm, but never actually gets dark. As you can imagine, its hard to fall asleep when you head off to bed at 12am and its still light out! I remember trying to sleep without blackout shades, that only lasted a few days! Below are some awesome pictures taken late at night.
