Word of the Day - alargar

**A la medida que se va acercando el solsticio de verano se van alargando los días. - The days grow longer as the summer solstice approaches.**
I can't make much sense out of the sentence. Are "se va acercando" and "se van alargando" passive voice or a reflexive verb usage? Can somebody give a more exact English translation than the one given? Thanks.

They are both reflexive. The official word of the day post will open later this afternoon. - RafaelNoiret, Jul 10, 2013
I lost the quote of the question: A la medida que se va acercando el solsticio de verano se van alargando los días. The days grow longer as the summer solstice approaches. - rhrisch, Jul 10, 2013
"A la medida que" or "A medida que"? This is the first time I have heard of them. I suppose simply "mientras" wouldn't be correct. - rhrisch, Jul 11, 2013

As the summer solstice approaches the days turn longer, I guess.
