I’ve seen them in Fairbanks. 😊

An unreal experience!

My bucket list is to visit the Arctic Circle (been there twice already but in Summer) in the dead of Winter and watch them from there or maybe Chena Hot Springs while relaxing in an outside natural sauna.

For the 3rd time (message keeps disappearing). Is the Geophysical Institute open to the public? Just wondering so I can possibly visit it whenever I return to Fairbanks. Saw it on my train ride to Anchorage in 2019. I use their app to check on Aurora status.

@@oriolesfan7807 Things may be different with Covid, so I suggest reaching out directly. Here's their visitor information page: www.gi.alaska.edu/about/visitor-information

OK what's the best city to start in? Fairbanks?

[@Alaskaorg]

Fairbanks is a great option but lately, we have been seeing them all over the state. Check out this article for more advice www.alaska.org/things-to-do/northern-lights-viewing
