I wasn't implying a conspiracy, I was wondering if others had noted the oddity I had. I would check the cloud cover as you mentioned, but do you have a link perhaps? Or a site to share about how to do this and what I would be looking for to verify (or not) the odd variation between expected and actual times?

The sun over Greenland has risen two days early, baffling scientists and sparking fears that Arctic icecaps are melting faster than previously thought.
Experts say the sun should have risen over the Arctic nation's most westerly town, Ilulissat, yesterday, ending a month-and-a-half of winter darkness.
But for the first time in history light began creeping over the horizon at around 1pm on Tuesday - 48 hours ahead of the usual date of 13 January.
The mysterious sunrise has confused scientists, although it is believed the most likely explanation is that it is down to the lower height of melting icecaps allowing the sun's light to penetrate through earlier.

They don't seem as sure at least last year as you as to the reason.

Melted ice caps lower the horizon, therefore make it appear that the sun is setting/rising earlier.

It's not that hard to get.



Very creative..

This was already thrashed out in older threads here on ATS, and I'll just repeat what I wrote earlier...

...I found some comments by someone who actually lives in Greenland.

Summary:
- The sun is expected to rise on the 13th of January at ilulissat.
- The sun rose on the 11th of January.
- The sun did NOT rise on the 12th
- The sun rose half an hour late on the 13th.
- There are no glaciers in the way, so the theory about shrinking glaciers fails.

The obvious answer is the one that has been known and observed for hundreds of years.
A reason that is easily and often observed, well studied and so well known that it was named 400 years ago and even has its own wikipedia page.

IT IS the cause.

Earthquakes vs. the Earth's Rotation

Japan Earthquake Shortened Days, Increased Earth's Wobble

When the earth wobbled

How The Chilean Quake Moved An Entire Planet

I know it speaks of minute time difference, What I'm saying is it can cause the earth to "wobble"
