The lights are seen above the magnetic poles of the northern and southern hemispheres. They are known as 'Aurora borealis' in the north and 'Aurora australis' in the south. Auroral displays appear in many colors although pale green and pink are the most common.

The most reliable chances to see Alaska’s northern lights (also known as the Aurora Borealis) are in Fairbanks, and above the Arctic Circle. The aurora belt in Alaska’s great Interior and Arctic regions is among the most active in the world, and there are few other places on earth so suited for an Aurora Borealis vacation.
Dear Tom, What time of the year is best for viewing the northern lights in Alaska? Debbie Clifford, Monee, IL Dear Debbie, The northern lights are visible in Alaska about 100 nights per year, but that number increases the farther north that you go.
