Guess what's early this year? (Juneau & Southeast)

Greetings from an unusually warm and dry Juneau!

 

These snuck out a few nights ago... this is from Skaters Cabin at the Mendenhall campground.

 

 

 

 

 

Keep an eye on this website if you are cruising in Southeast:

Wow!!! Thanks for posting. Beautiful.

fake news. how many times have you been told that it is impossible to see northern lights during the summer......

Breathtaking! I can hardly wait for our cruise in September. Hoping we can catch a glimpse of the Aurora the night after we leave Juneau on our way to Glacier Bay. Thanks for the post.

Look days, way before you "leave Juneau".

Pretty amazing. I would be interested in what time local the pix were taken. we will be in Fairbanks next May and I'm always monitoring the activity reports. Thanks so much for posting.

It could be dusk or dawn. I have several photos I've take of a sunset with the aurora out of Fairbanks. In May in Fairbanks, chances are about zero of seeing aurora.

How true but sad because when we will be there, daylight is 19h10m and civil twilight is 4h50m. There is simply no nautical or astronomical twilight. https://www.timeanddate.com/sun/usa/fairbanks

If the OP took the shot near July 25th, it had to be during Nautical twilight - 10:29pm-3:36am. But he does not say what time in his post.

a friend took the picture. we started seeing the haze around 945pm, so this may have been closer to 1030ish.

 

Aurora are hard to predict. They may suddenly appear and give us an amazing 10 minute show, then vanish. Or we will be waiting until 2am to see them.
