In March of 2016, we spent the most amazing weekend in Fairbanks, Alaska. We witnessed the unbelievable phenomenon of auroras borealis,  enjoyed like kids at the World Ice Sculpture Championship , and even had time to get trapped in a snow storm in Denali. It was one of our favorite adventures of the year, a unique experience that we didn’t think we would repeat any time soon…

Fast forward to October of 2016, when we saw a very high aurora forecast and, on an impulse, hopped on a plane back to Fairbanks! Since I already described this trip in detailed in my previous posts, I’m simply going to leave you with a bunch of images, hoping to inspire you to visit this last frontier…
