Expensive. Beautiful summers with long sunny days, cold and dark winters with icy and snowy roads. Known as the Last Frontier, so surrounded by wooded wilderness where bear and moose can stroll into town.

Anchorage, Alaska, has 22 hours of daylight on June 21 which coincides with summer solstice. This is also the reason the state has been given the nickname “Land of the Midnight sun”. Giving residents and visitors alike plenty of daylight to explore and play.

Someone moving to Anchorage would have to take its long winters and long summers into consideration. The state is not the northernmost state and “The Land of the Midnight Sun” for nothing. It’s difficult to sleep when the sun shines through the curtain cracks for most of the night.

Anchorage has unique weather patterns that range from extremely frigid to abnormally hot. Conditions often change unexpectedly, making driving a challenge for even the most skilled drivers. Despite all of this, the breathtaking scenery that surrounds the city make living here worth the struggle. It also doesn’t hurt that we occasionally are graced with amazing views of the Northern Lights.

there are plenty of mountains. They should also know there are few stores as opposed to a large quantity, such as that of other cities. During summer, there is more than twelve hours of sunlight compared to the less than 12 hours during winter.
