Tomorrow, I get to fly to Barrow, Alaska, affectionately known here in Alaska as the "Top of the World." I always knew it as the answer to a trivia question: What's the northernmost point of the United States of America? I am so excited. This is the first of two trips this year as I go back on December 2nd. This website says, "The sun never rises for 51 days between November 18th and January 24th. If it's not cloudy and the stars are out there's a great chance for viewing of the northern lights."
