UF G8R Posted February 20, 2008 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I will be fulfilling one of my life long dreams, visiting Alaska on my early June cruise. Another one of my dreams is to see the aurora borealis. Has anyone ever seen the northern lights in the summer in Alaska? I know that it's a very, very long shot but if there is a possibility I dont want to miss the sight. Is it possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
australian_girl Posted February 20, 2008 #2 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I don't think you can see them in June, not sure it's dark enough. Someone on tripadvisor posted they saw the lights in september from Healy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie11 Posted February 20, 2008 #3 Share Posted February 20, 2008 No, they are not visible in June - it's just not dark enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PennyAgain Posted February 20, 2008 #4 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Sorry to say, but Alaska can show the Northern Lights and the Midnight Sun at the same time. The luckiest viewing times are mid-Sept and mid-March but they can be seen from time to time all winter. This winter has been a poor one for the LIGHTS.
