Longest and shortest day in Ilulissat
The longest day falls on 22 May 2026, 5 months ago, with 24h 0m of daylight.
The shortest is 1 January 2026, 9 months ago, with no sunrise at all.
Between them the day length swings by 24h 0m.
Daylight through 2026
The earliest sunset of the year is at 13:31 on 29 November; the latest is 01:51 on 24 July. Those dates are not the solstices — the difference between clock time and solar time shifts them by a week or more.
Sunrise ranges from 02:51 on 24 July to 13:17 on 12 January.
Averaged across the year, a day here holds 12h 22m of daylight.
What makes sunsets in Ilulissat different
Sitting on the western side of its time zone puts solar noon at 13:11, a full 71 minutes after twelve o'clock, and drags the whole day — sunrise, noon and sunset — along with it. Daylight saving adds another hour on top, so today the sun peaks at 14:11.
From sunset to full civil darkness is 59 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 69.2°N accounts for the 35-minute difference.
Evening golden hour runs 124 minutes today. On the equator the same window lasts about 40 — at 69.2° the sun approaches the horizon at a shallower angle and takes its time.
By the end of October the sun will be setting 195 minutes earlier than it did on the first, a shift of roughly 7 minutes a day.
The clocks go back on 24 October 2026, so the sunset jumps from 18:08 to 18:04 overnight — the sun has not moved, the clock has.
Planning a sunset photo in Ilulissat
Arrive by 17:24. Golden hour opens at 17:39 and the sun is down by 19:07, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west-southwest — the sun goes down at 253° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 19:43 and runs to 20:06, the end of civil twilight and 59m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
