How to see the northern lights in alaska by CaribouBarbie007

"The lights just shown so brightly, and to see most of our neighborhood come out at once at 2 in the morning to watch this.... just made me feel close to everyone."

How I did it: I lived in Alaska for seven years over a 17 year experience, and got to see the lights several times. They never got old, and the colors never were the same.

Lessons & tips: They can appear anytime, it's not just a "oh hi there". Don't be dissapointed if you don't see them, they hide... a lot.

    How amazing a place a to live in when you look at a canvas that is the sky that produces the shows that just takes your breath away with colours and patterns that no artist can possibly recreate. Wow!

    They’re beautiful – and it definitely makes up for having to get up so early to see them.

    i saw a television program that showcased the worlds best natural wonders and this was on it. apparently, alaska is one of the best places to see them because they are more clear and vibrant near the poles. i don’t know when i’ll be able to go to alaska but this definitely gets put on my top 43.
