[@TheAuroraChasers]

Thanks so much for watching! If you'd like to learn more, please check out the rest of this series and explore our channel for real-time Northern Lights footage as well.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge about the NL!

[@hollywiley5668]

Our poles have accelerated their move.. we’ve been having a lot of solar storms as our magnetosphere weakens.. GSM here we come!!

[@MichelleRoberts-v2u]

Thanks for all the tips. Planning a trip March 24. If things work out well a fall trip also!

[@chivon9746]

When I lived in Fairbanks,,,I saw them in February. I was told that the cold February was the best time.

[@jesseflores7025]

How was the weather ?? I’m going next February 🙏🏻🙌🏻

[@chivon9746]

@@jesseflores7025 I lived there in 1984/1985. The winter is VERY cold & daylight from around 9:00 AM THRU 3:00 PM. It is beautiful. Deep snow. Below zero at night & teens (maybe) in the daytime February is the coldest month,,,, that is why the best time to see Northern Lights.

My daughter and I are planning on the first week of Oct this year for about 5 days in Fairbanks. She is wanting to see some Northern lights so I'm hoping she gets the chance at seeing them. Thanks for the video

[@jdsullivan7023]

Glad I found this channel. Wife and I are getting married in October this year and spending our honeymoon in the great state Alaska. Can’t wait to see and explore all these fantastic things.

[@naeemkhan116]

Hi I am Naeem Khan from Pakistan in Southeast Asia very Far away from Alaska. Thank you very much for uploading such nice videos. Iam feeling that I am there and watching all this nature from your eyes.

[@estela4791]

We went and saw a glorious display of the Northern Lights Friday ,Ma4ch 24,2023. We were lucky to still have the lights after Thursday’s display which made the national news because it was seen in almost all of the USA, Canada and Parts of Europe

[@LauraerieL]

OMGosh, thank you so much for posting this! I'm Team Both!! Been wanting to plan a trip, but the more I researched the less I understood with more questions and further confusion. This simplified things! Appreciate you sharing the insight!

[@paulinocorsino7927]

Awsome presentation, thank you! Team Ronn. You gave me all the information i needed for my 2022 trip. See you there!

[@TheAuroraChasers]

Can't wait! See you then! :-)

[@estela4791]

We are coming this last week of March, 2023 to celebrate my 63rd birthday with my hubby and with Team Marketa! Yay ! So exited !

[@TheAuroraChasers]

Looking forward to it!

[@estela4791]

@@TheAuroraChasers we arrived Friday March 24,2023 . We were lucky to see a glorious and beautiful display of the Northern Lights. Thursday’s Northern Lights made it in the national evening news because it was seen almost in all of the USA ,Canada and Europe. Team Marketa knew where to go since they have their electronic gadgets ,experience to help them ( plus the weather,Mother Nature cooperated) There was hardly no wasted time since the lights were already there when we arrived around 1200 am. My hubby made a very good decision to rent one of their cameras and tripods. He got enough tutorials from Ronn. Team Marketa made sure everyone received help with their cameras, iPhones. They also had hot drinks and kept their van warm throughout the trip. Team Marketa even allowed us to make a short stop on the way home to see and take pics of more lights. People if your spending all the expense to fly to Alaska to see the Northern Lights ,you should get The Aurora Chasers.

[@anthonyjackson584]

I like the educational aspect so I can make better decisions on taking my first trip to Alaska. Great vid!!!

We are cruising to Alaska last week of September 24. Is there any chance along the way that we might be able to view?

I went to Alaska at the end of January 2022 and was there for a week. Sadly it was cloud coverage during my entire stay and clear skies didn't happen until a couple days after I left. I hope to see the Northern lights one day. Its on my bucket list.

Wife and I went in September a few years ago for several weeks. It rained most of the time and we only saw a slight green one night. So disappointing but an incredible trip otherwise. We are planning on a February trip now. Some friends just got back from a February trip and saw them basically the whole time
