About the time in Point Lay
The zone identifier America/Nome is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Nome keeps pointing at Nome time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
Point Lay runs on America/Nome, which puts the city UTC −8 from Coordinated Universal Time right now. The clock at the top of this page is not copied from your device: it is anchored to our reference timestamp and re-rendered every second against the IANA time zone database, so it stays right even when a laptop or phone has quietly drifted.
Point Lay sits at latitude 69.74, in the high-latitude band, so day length here swings sharply between midwinter and midsummer — today's 17h 06m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
