Right, I need to talk to ST tomorrow about Northern Lights. Mom has expressed in interest an going to Fairbanks to see them. -- (edited) - ty97 Apr 14, 19:45 8
- It's also possible to see them in a dark skies area. -- nm - . Apr 15, 02:52
- the *best* way to do it is work in mineral exploration in the arctic. otherwise winter is better than fall just because more darkness, and generally - mafic Apr 14, 20:37 3
  - Pretty sure Mom's not looking to come out of retirement to start a new career :) -- nm - ty97 Apr 14, 20:42 2
    - srsly though consider the moon. that's probs the biggest factor in your control. -- nm - mafic Apr 14, 21:41
    - And yet, she may surprise you if you ask -- nm - Pippy with a French Beret Apr 14, 20:49
- Other than cruises I would say go to Scandinavia, because you can get further north, which increases your chances. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 20:09 1
  - I don't think I could ever get Mom on a cruise ship. And flying to Alaska is a stretch for her, I'm not getting her to go to the Nordics. -- nm - ty97 Apr 14, 20:41
- I saw them on an Alaska cruise in September. There are Northern LIghts cruises in various places. -- nm - loosilu Apr 14, 20:07
