Aurora Borealis

[DarkHand]

Unfortunately, the best aurora are during the dead of winter when it's -40F. The summer is when everyone comes to Alaska, because that's when you can be outside without dying, but it's daylight 24hrs so you'll never see it then. I wouldn't recommend coming in the winter, unless you REALLY want to see them, because there's not much else worth doing that time of year.

I once dreamed I built a heated, enclosed tent/shelter with an acrylic dome for a roof and was sitting in it in the middle of the Alaskan wilderness, watching the aurora while comfy warm.

Oh, I know.

I've always wanted to go to AK in the winter.

that was turkey.

I was making a stab at Mitt Romney and his grandiose tales of hunting elk/moose/rabbit/deer/boar/etc.
