Alaska Northern Lights in Winter Photo Workshop

Photograph the Aurora Borealis in Alaska's far north

Fairbanks, Alaska, is an ideal location for photographing the aurora borealis. Its high latitude places it directly in the Auroral Oval, making northern lights a frequent occurrence. If your only experience with aurora is at lower latitudes, the quality and intensity of the aurora are much better at these far north latitudes and well worth the visit.

March is the best month for aurora viewing in Fairbanks. While the temperatures are cold, they are warmer than the winter and typically dry, with a better chance for clear skies. Also, aurora occurs most frequently around the spring and autumn equinoxes. During this season, snow-covered arctic landscapes make a fantastic backdrop for aurora photos.

We also offer autumn northern lights trips in Alaska.
