This program includes one of the best places to view the Aurora Borealis – Bettles Lodge. Positioned in a prime Alaskan location under the aurora band of highest frequency activity, the clear skies allow for prolonged nightly viewing. Unlike other aurora destinations where you travel by bus at night – at Bettles Lodge you are just a few metres from your warm accommodation. Desk staff arrange wake up calls when good viewing occurs so you don’t have to stay awake all night! Far from the cloudy effects of the ocean, high-pressure weather systems and clear skies are common during winter months. The lodge, a National Historic Site, offers the ultimate experience for the outdoor enthusiast, Alaska traveler and Northern Lights seeker.
