Where to View
According to the University of Alaska's Geophysical Institute the best places to view the aurora Borealis are northern latitudes. This includes Alaska, Canada and Scandinavia.
Make sure to have artificial light such as street and house lights out of view for optimal aurora viewing.
When to View
To
view the Northern lights it needs to be dark outside. In
Northern latitudes this means that winter months offer the
most viewing hours per day. In Alaska the best months are
September till March but, the Aurora can be seen any time
it is dark outside.
