Fine, then you move to the Congo, Indonesia, or some other equatorial rain forest. Or Somalia. Maybe Brazil or Ecuador. Your pick.

Spend a year at Thule Air Base, Greenland.

24 hours of sun in the summer, approximately 4 months.

24 hours of no sun in the winter, approximately 4 months.

The two months in between both were the changing periods.

The Frostbox - Thule Climate

Excerpt from this web page:

"The sun doesn't rule up there. Thule is located far north of the polar circle and therefore part of the year goes by in almost total darkness. From around mid November till mid February the sun isn't anywhere to be seen. On the other hand the sun never sets in the 4 months around summer time. In July the average temperature reaches 5 degrees Celcius (40 degrees Fahrenheit)."

Been there: 11/1952 to 11/1953...Buddy B
