What makes sunsets in Tiksi different
From sunset to full civil darkness is 66 minutes here, against a 24-minute median elsewhere today. Latitude 71.7°N accounts for the 42-minute difference.

Planning a sunset photo in Tiksi
Arrive by 16:26. Golden hour opens at 16:41 and the sun is down by 18:10, so that leaves about fifteen minutes to find a position before the light is worth using.
Face west — the sun goes down at 268° on the compass today. That bearing moves through the year, so a composition that works this week may not in three months.
Do not pack up at sunset. Blue hour follows from 18:51 and runs to 19:16, the end of civil twilight and 1h 6m after the sun disappears. That is the window where city lights balance against the sky.
