Northern Lights in Alaska

Northern Lights in Alaska are one of Nature’s beauty’. The Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis mystifies and draws travelers from around the world.  A mosaic of colors; the lights dance, swirl, and twists into the darkness.  In other moments it changes intensity as it slowly meanders and becomes a mural for the eye to contemplate.
