Standard pallet sizes. Pallets are portable platforms used to package items for freight shipping. There are two pallet types: stringer pallets and block pallets. Stringer pallets are built with 2â x 4â wood, plastic or metal âstringers.â Block pallets are similar, except they are made with individual blocks.
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.
This is why the best place to see the northern lights is in the arctic. Sometimes the Sun becomes very active and sends out even more energetic solar wind particles. This is when people in the UK can see the northern lights (although only if it is a clear night). People in Scotland have the best chance. Solar storms are sometimes reported on the news, or you can look at websites like Aurora Watch to find out when one might be on it's way.
