You definitely don't need to go north to encounter late sunsets.

That wasn't my point, by the way. My point was you need to go north for longer twilight periods, which only increase as you go north, and also aren't affected by where you are within a time zone.

My original reply was to a post by |kalvado|, not you.

Yes, I saw that (hence "by the way"), but figured it was still a distinction worth making.

No part of contiguous US has sunrise after 9:00 am in winter or sunset after 10:00 pm in summer, but Helsinki has both (Latest sunrise 9:25 am, latest sunset 10:50 pm).

That must be fixed. Helsinki needs to move to NY time zone in summer and in Beijing time zone in winter.

Helsinki is further north than the entire continental US.

By whole 11 degrees. A good chunk of US-Canada border is 49th parallel, and Helsinky is a bit past 60 degrees. Anchoradge is a bit further north at 61 degree

Fortuna, North Dakota, has sunsets after 10 PM for about two weeks in June—July.  The closest it gets to 9 AM sunrises, however, is 8:48.
