Just about everyone knows that up in the far north, weird things start happening to the sun and moon. Things that have the ability to make anyone begin to get a bit confused and even scared with what they're seeing.
Scientifically speaking, it all makes sense. The tilt in the Earth's axis means that for places near the ends of the Earth, the sun will beam down on that land for six months at a time, all while on the other pole of the planet, the night will be present constantly.
If you get a bit farther away from the pole, this weird quirk of science still applies, just not as strongly. So when one man was off the coast of Alaska on a cold cruise voyage, he couldn't believe his eyes when he saw what the world looked like at 10 o'clock in the evening.
He steps out of his balcony and clearly sees the moon high up in the sky. The dark night sky easily reflects the moon upon the shimmering black water. But when he pans the camera over to the left, that's when things get really strange. There's a reason they call it "the land of the midnight sun," because it is really an amazing sight to see with your own eyes!
Have you ever seen something as crazy and wild as this before in real life? Let us know in the comments below.
