What makes you choose to live at such an extreme latitude? I'm always curious about what draws people to live in such places.

- porkloin 2y agoI grew up here, so it's "home" so to speak. Well, technically my childhood home was a few hundred miles further south than where I am now (Fairbanks, Alaska). It's definitely an extreme climate to live in, but there are a ton of things to do outdoors, and although the daylight changes are very extreme, the excessive summer daylight makes that part of the year truly amazing. I do think the extreme polar opposites in daylight and temperature for summer and winter solstices contribute to people here being a little...unbalanced. But for a lot of people, the unique landscape, low population, and abundance of outdoor activities make it worthwhile.
