  Any recommendations for an Alaska northern lights photography tour? There is a good chance I'll be going to Alaska in October for work. I've been there a number of times, but always in the summer. This could FINALLY be my chance to see (and photograph) the northern lights - an absolute dream of mine! I definitely need a guide since I have no outdoor, winter, Alaska experience, but many of the tours I'm seeing online include things I'm either not interested in or have already done. Plus, I'd prefer being with a photographer who could give me some tips while we're there. Has anyone done a tour that's just focused on just photography? Any recommendations?

  Hello! I am from Israel and I plan to come to visit, especially to see the aurora borealis. I would love to get any tips, recommendations, suggestions and so on regarding what to do, when to come, maybe good plans for hotels, food etc... Thanks a lot! Eve-Anne

  We are gaining 3 hours per month of daylight. In the late spring, it will never get very dark, more like a continual evening and morning light. You need to come when it gets dark here. The northern lights are not every night. The sun's activity determines when the northern lights will show up. http://www.aurora-service.org/aurora-forecast/

  Does anyone know of a good, high vantage-point where it is relatively dark to view the sky at night? Aurora Borealis tonight and we have too many trees to see the northern horizon. Thx!!

  This is a pretty good website forecasting the Aurora...looks somewhat unlikely for us at this point, so I may be staying home! http://www.aurora-service.org/aurora-forecast/

  My 80 yr old father is visiting from Vancouver and really wants to see the Northern Lights. We can't see anything from our house in College Heights. Any suggestions on where and when to go see Northern Lights. I've seen so many beautiful photos on FB. Has anyone seen anything from UNBC?
