Sun and moon in Longyearbyen, Svalbard and Jan Mayen

About these times

Times are calculated for 78.22° N, 15.65° E at sea level and shown in local time (Arctic/Longyearbyen). Sunrise and sunset are when the top of the sun meets a flat horizon; hills, buildings and weather can shift what you see by a few minutes.

Golden hour is when the sun is between 4° below and 6° above the horizon, the warm, soft light photographers look for. Blue hour is the deep-blue twilight just before and after it. The sky is fully dark between astronomical dusk and dawn, the best time for stargazing.
