Welcome to the most comprehensive online travel guide for Alaska, Western Canada and Northwest USA

The Aurora in this time lapse video from Fairbanks, Alaska show you the beauty in the winter skies in Alaska. Since clear sky and darkness are essential to see aurora, the best time is dictated by the weather, and by the sun rise and set times. The moon is also very bright, and should be taken into account when deciding on a period to travel for the purpose of auroral observation. You might see aurora from dusk to dawn throughout the night. The chances are higher for the 3 or 4 hours around midnight.
