Aurora Borealis, Brooks Range, Alaska #3431

Getting to experience the northern lights is one of the unique pleasures of living in Alaska. One of the best places to watch the lights, also called the aurora borealis is in the Brooks Range above the Arctic Circle. I watched this amazing display on a frozen riverbed next to the Dalton Highway, the only road connecting Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay on the Arctic Ocean.
