This morning on CBC radio, they talked with a person who lives way up =
north. (I didn't catch the location, but they said it was the most =
northerly year-round settlement in Canada).  The question they were =
asking was about what Spring means to various parts of the country.  One =
thing he said is that as of April 1st, his community will have sunlight =
24 hours a day.  (I think he said sunlight, because he talked about the =
sun going behind the mountains, but suggested that if there were no =
mountains, he'd be able to see the sun 24 hours a day).  I tried, =
unsuccessfully, to find a webpage that would explain to me why there =
would be 24 hours of light that far north at this time of year, when =
we're in darkness by 8 pm.  Can someone suggest a webpage that has =
diagrams that would explain this to me...or perhaps someone can offer an =
explanation.
Thanks,
Andy Moir
