Sunrise on the Arctic Slope

We had about 12 hours of sunlight a day, depending on the cloudcover, which was usually overcast. One one day when the cover broke, this was the sunrise.

The sunset looked the same, but it was over the ocean.

Here is a short Barrow story:
Seems that the natives hunt ducks on the schedule the ducks set. Sometimes the ducks arrive before duck season starts and the hunting starts.

One year the FBI sent two agents to Barrow to investigate and being FBI agents, they were ready and waiting when the illegal hunting started.

600 natives, all armed with shotguns, versus two agents. The agents got real small, laid low, and left on the first plane. What ever the problem was, they must have resolved it. They've never been back.
