Skies of Alaska

Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights)

If you have never seen the Aurora borealis (northern lights), you’ve been missing out on one of natures most unique and mysterious displays. The sky lights up and dances with the most worldly colors: pinks, greens, white, reds, blues and some light colors of purple.

Here in Alaska we are blessed with the opportunity to see the northern lights quite often.

Most of our guests don’t get to see them so we've gathered some photos to view online.
