I didn't know Alaska had 24 hour sunlight during the summer.

Sun would still be up at 12a.m. A lot of Alaskans use black out curtains to sleep. Crazy as chit when I learned about it.

Only the northern parts. They also get 24 hours of darkness during Winter, which is also nuts.

Alaska is way too isolating of a place to enjoy this type of thing. Around the equator it gets dark at like 5:30-6pm all year, and I honestly kinda hate that as well.

I think the best solution is to spend Summers in the US, and Winters in South America, so you can get 8-10pm sunsets for 50% of the year.

Yeah that would be nice if you had the right job for it. Otherwise you're stuck.

Where in SA would you buy a house?

I wouldn't buy a house in S America. Just get longer term rentals.
