About the Northern Lights in Alaska
Aurora Borealis happens when charged particles from the sun interact with Earth’s magnetic field and upper atmosphere, producing glowing light high above the ground. Forecasters track activity using the Kp index, a 0 to 9 scale that indicates geomagnetic disturbance and how far south the aurora may be visible. Check near real time and short term outlooks before you go.

Peak aurora season in Alaska runs when nights are darkest, typically from mid August through mid April, with many visitors planning around fall and winter. Darkness and clear skies are as important as activity, so avoid the bright summer period and always check local weather and cloud cover.
