These cities line up along the sixty-first parallel, from Anchorage on the North American coast eastward across the Atlantic to Tampere, then further east into Russia through Petrozavodsk, Syktyvkar, and Surgut. Spread across such distance, they share only the same angle of sunlight through the year, while lying under different governments, languages, and landscapes from coastal Alaska to the Russian interior.
