Ilulissat, Greenland. For generations, the sun peaked over the horizon for the first time after a long winter in this extreme northern region on exactly the same day; January 13. But in 2011, the sun rose two full days early, something that had never happened in recorded history. As to the "why" of this event, no one really has an answer. Even more baffling is the fact that it hasn't happened again since. There are still plenty of articles about this on the plain old internet, but I figured I'd store a few particular comments and items that I saved about the event here. It is important not to abandon real events, simply because we cannot explain them. (DIR) ..
