The northernmost town in the US will not see sunlight for more than 2 months, the temperature will drop significantly. Accordingly, the town of Utqiagvik in Alaska will experience temperatures below freezing for about 160 days per year.

The town of Utqiagvik, which overlooks the Arctic Ocean, has witnessed the phenomenon of "polar night" starting this week, the next 66 days people will operate in the dark for 24 hours.

Myron McCumber, with his wife Susan McCumber, run a 12-room motel in Utqiagvik, Alaska. Talking about life in Alaska, Myron McCumber said: "Alaskaans tend to be quite independent thinkers. Although still American, life here is quite isolated."

The snow is white in many places, the temperature is often below freezing

Along Utqiagvik's shoreline is a welcome sign that reads "America's northernmost city" above a blue and white illustration of a whale's tail.

The town is home to more than 4,000 people, with various names, such as 'top of the world', 'zero point on climate change'.

When there is no sun for about 66 days, the daily life of the people here continues, they find ways to adapt to the polar night phenomenon. Meanwhile, tourists from many parts of the world still flock here to observe the phenomena.
