answer: #Person1# is surprised that Alaska is so sunny in summer and the whole sunset can take hours to finish. #Person2# adds that in winter it has two-thirds of dark time every day but #Person2# gets used to it since childhood.
documents: #Person1#: Wow, I had no idea it was going to be so sunny here! I thought Alaska was supposed to be cold.
  #Person2#: Well, it is pretty cold for much of the year. But during the summer, it's just as warm as it is in states like Washington and Oregon.
  #Person1#: Interesting. The days are really long right now. I don't think the sun has been down for more than a few hours the whole time I've been here.
  #Person2#: Yeah, that's another interesting thing about the summers here. We're so far north that we're exposed to the sun for almost the entire day. In winter, the opposite is true.
  #Person1#: You mean it's dark the whole time?
  #Person2#: Well, not the whole time... but maybe for two-thirds of every day from December to February.
  #Person1#: Whoa! How do you make it through every year? As a California native, I wouldn't be able to handle that for more than one season!
  #Person2#: I guess I'm used to it. When I was a kid, it was pretty fun to play with flashlights and have campfires outside in the afternoon. I never noticed that life was worse because it was always dark.
