This is a really neat time lapse from Point Hope, Alaska! Your eyes aren't deceiving you -- the sun never set. In fact, locations north of 67.6° N will experience 24 hours of daylight today. Courtesy of Brian Brettschneider. | US National Weather Service Nashville Tennessee

We recently visited Tikiġaq (Point Hope), Alaska, which is one of the oldest continually occupied sites in North America. Whaling plays an important role in the community, and we asked community members about the importance of the tradition of whaling captains. Whales come close to the shore in Point Hope because of the town’s protrusion into the sea, and whale bones have many uses in the community, including structural support for sod houses. Learn more about Tikiġaq (Point Hope) below! Thank y
