Return of the sun
This is the sun peeking over the horizon the morning of January 25 in Barrow, Alaska. Barrow is about as far north as you can get and still be in the United States. For I-Reporter Rob Raney, it's the first sunrise he's seen this year. Rob is building a research facility that will be used to study global climate change. For the past two months, he and his team have been living in perpetual night, with only brief glimpses of sunlight during dawn and again at dusk. Thursday, Rob got what he was longing for -- a "beautiful and welcomed sight" from his remote corner of the universe -- and he shared it as an I-Report.It got us thinking -- what other wondrous sights do I-Reporters see each day? What makes the places they live in unique? What makes them beautiful? So we decided to ask. Show us what life is like near you. We want to see your corner of the universe. |
