Experience It! Aurora Borealis – Northern Lights
Due to its close proximity to the Arctic Circle, Alaska is one of the best places to
see the Aurora Borealis – better known as the northern lights. This natural
phenomenon is the product of collisions between electrically charged particles
from the sun that enter the earth's atmosphere, yielding spectacular results.
Streaks of colorful light that change from white to pink to purple, and most
commonly, to green, dazzle and move through the open sky like nature’s own
lightshow. The best time to see the northern lights is from late August through
April. This is weather dependent, but the nights are the longest during these
months which increases your chances of seeing the lights.
