I could never live in Alaska. I need it to be dark to sleep, and after we arrived in Mt. Alyeska it just did not get dark. There would be about two hours of dusk, but no darkness.
This picture was taken when I was out walking on Deck 6 aboard the ms. Statendam one evening, it was the last time I saw the moon the entire trip.

The first night at the Mt. Alyeska Resort in Alaska I thought I was going crazy. I couldn't
sleep because of the sliver of light coming in around the curtain. I kept getting up and looking to see
if there was a light shining outside the window, but it was just the
sky. I hadn't noticed this aboard the ship because we had an inside
cabin. Even though I would walk around the deck around midnight
sometimes, it just didn't register to me that it wasn't really dark. It
freaked me out in Mt. Alyeska to look out the window at 3:30 a.m. and I
could see the ski lift on the mountain. So whereas I enjoyed being
able to walk around outside and enjoy myself late at night, it was not
optimal for my sleeping.
