Northern Lights Viewing. Alaska is one of the best places on earth to see the northern lights â colorful bands of light that dance in the dark night sky. Travelers from all over the world come to Alaska each winter to see this stunning display and take advantage of other winter experiences like snowmobiling, dog mushing, skiing, festivals and sporting events.
Two major challenges when hunting the Northern Lights are the cold and fatigue. Watching them in a hot spring asolleviates both. The city of Fairbanks, in Alaska, is often cited as the best place to see the Northern Lights in the United States. It's home to the Geophysical Institute at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks, which issues forecasts on Aurora viewing conditions.
