You could be up in Barrow, Alaska where the sun hasn’t risen since November 18th and won’t rise again until January 22nd of next year.

Top of the World Hotel. I’ve got a T-shirt from that place. We had a T-2 turbine part shipped to that hotel.

One Fall season we would break ice past Barrow in the ‘daytime’. We’d shut down ops, wake up, and Barrow would be off our port bow. We did that for 10 days. Then we turned around, went through the NW Passage, through the canal, and then home.

Talk about the ‘long way’.
