#30- Winter Solstice from Alaska to Costa Rica

In this Winter Solstice special, we take trips to Alaska and Costa Rica to find out what it’s like to experience the shortest day of the year in these extreme locations. Ted Blank, a NASA Solar System Ambassador, answers my burning question about the weather and the Winter Solstice. Peter Atkinson lends his amazing storytelling voice to share with us the story of “La Befana and the Royal Child of Light.” Epcot does a great “Holidays Around the World” celebration which includes an appearance by La Befana herself.
