228. Top reasons to live in the Arctic (from Kotzebue's website)
- This sort of nonsense doesn't happen in the latitudes of the far North. (see pics)
- Thunder (and Lightning) storms are vanishingly rare.
- 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit are considered HOT days.
- 24 hour sun for 20 days in June, 24 hour Dark for 20 days in December, equal 12hr sun/dark at March and September Equinoxes. Always changing!
- The Sun is in a different position at any given time of the day. In other words, that morning commute 'sun in your eyes' will only be for about a week.
- Aurora Borealis -the Northern Lights- always inspiring and viewable 6-9 months of the year!
- No fleas, no cockroaches, no ticks, few spiders (unless you bring 'em with you).
- Little chance of sunburn, sunstroke or skin cancer.
- Less light pollution for viewing the stars and planets.
- Less crowding, less traffic. You can usually walk where you need to go.
- Cold air is heavier, so aircraft fly better in the cold (to a certain degree).
- With Global Warming, the climate is only improving! '
