ShadeMap now displays the sunniest and shadiest locations over the
course of a day. Click the sun exposure button located near the lower

Initially ShadeMap answered the question, where can I find shade now?
(or at a specific date and time) However, knowing how much sun or
shade a location gets over the course of an entire day can be
valuable as well. For example, finding a parking spot in the shade on
a hot day or determining what snow fields will melt the fastest.

areas, the most.

These massive pits receive virtually no sunlight during the winter.
Below, you can see what parts of the arctic remain in total darkness
on December 24th.
