Northern Lights in Fairbanks: Chasing the Aurora
Fairbanks sits directly beneath the auroral oval, where the northern lights are most active, and residents see aurora on about 8 of every 10 clear nights. This excursion gets you to a real dark sky with a guide who knows the forecast and when to keep you out. Season runs late August through mid-April.
