As winter truly sets in, I've been thinking more and more about ice and polar bears, and escaping to see the Northern Lights. Now is the perfect time to catch them in Alaska, as they are at their strongest between December and March.
The Chena Hot Springs Resort, about an hour outside of Fairbanks, looks like a fantastic place to stay. I love the idea of the hot springs in the morning before setting about your day. You can even elect to get an Aurora Borealis wake up call, since they are best seen past midnight.
Scientists are predicting 2013 to be the height of Aurora activity in this particular lights cycle. Wouldn't it be amazing to see?
Ooo, Alaska! I have a mild obsession with this place...and my commemorative mug will be here soon...!
