Aurora borealis, or Northern lights in Alaska

Alaska is one of the best places in the world to see the northern lights, colorful lights bands dancing in the night sky. Travelers from all over the world come to Alaska to see this spectacular display and enjoy other winter experiences such as snow pies, dogs, skiing, festivals and sporting events. Northern Lights, commonly known as Aurora Borealis, is a magnificent sight. They dance in the sky with magic, in green, red and purple colors.Northern lights occur throughout the four seasons, although they are difficult to see under the midnight sun.

The best time to see the lights is between August and April, when less daylight leads to a dark night sky. Many hotels in Alaska offer to wake up the northern lights (of course, on request) in order to wake visitors when the lights are off. The northern lights are best seen in Alaska between 65 ° north latitude and 70 ° north latitude.The good news is that they are visible eight months a year in Fairbanks and in internal affairs. The bad news is that you will not see them for most of the summer months. Only in the middle of August will the night become dark enough so that the colorful shows can again dance over the skies. The most common color is bright yellow-green, but the northern lights can also give red, blue and purple patterns. The Northern Lights, also known as the Northern Lights, is located at an altitude of 60 to 70 miles above the Earth’s surface.
