periscian - adj., having the shadow moving all around.
Not particularly useful, you might think, but many dictionaries give only its derivative meaning: living in one of the polar regions. That is, where the shadow travels all around as the sun fails to set. From Greek roots, peri-, around + skia, shadow. See also amphiscian, also known as the ascii.
