I think Alaska has 20 hours of sunlight this time of the year?

Research shows... The day we're most directly pointed toward the sun is the summer solstice, the longest day of the year. Summer solstice is always June 20 or June 21.... The farther north you go, the longer the day. Just north of Fairbanks, the day is 24 hours long. In Fairbanks, there are nearly 22 hours of daylight, about 19.5 hours in Anchorage and 18.2 hours in Juneau...If you add up all of the daylight throughout the course of the year, every place in Alaska receives more daylight than every place in the Lower 48. - https://www.adn.com/science/article/sunniest-day-year-look-why-alaska-has-most-daylight/2015/06/20 /
