The Northern Lights in Fairbanks
The highly anticipated Aurora Season in Fairbanks Alaska has begun.
It once again offers visitors and locals alike the opportunity to witness the vibrant northern lights until April.
This eight-month viewing period allows countless opportunities to experience the aurora borealis in all its glory.
Aurora Season in Fairbanks is consistent each year due to the area’s prime location under the Auroral Oval, where aurora activity is concentrated.
This advantageous position ensures that Fairbanks remains one of the best places on Earth to view the northern lights, regardless of the solar cycle.
The solar cycle, which spans approximately 11 years, influences the level of activity on the sun’s surface, including sunspots.
These sunspots are closely tied to aurora activity.
This means that any aurora activity, even at the lowest levels, is visible in Fairbanks.
Whether a seasoned aurora chaser or a first-time visitor, Fairbanks makes for a perfect backdrop for witnessing one of nature’s most spectacular phenomena.
Explore Fairbanks is the non-profit tourism marketing organization tasked with promoting travel to the region. Fairbanks is positioned as a year-round destination by promoting local events, attractions and activities to independent travelers, group tour operators, travel agents, and meeting planners.
