This is a very informative video and was a great help in planning our trip to Alaska this September. We are very interested in the Northern Lights viewing trip that you went on…we were wondering what company you booked it with. I would like to contact them and reserve 2 spots. Thank you for all of the info… we will definitely go to the museums you mentioned as well. 😁👍🏻

How helpful your video has been... I believe by the dates of the Ice Sculpture events we are going at nearly the exact time of February you went. Like Arden we will also be celebrating my birthday during our trip and likewise we will be staying at the North Pole Cabin for Two.... We are leaving in a couple of days and your video has made me just that much more eager, and excited to go to all the places ~ plus perhaps a few extra adventures on the Arctic Circle tour.. Thank you for helping us get familiar with the area and opportunities of the Fairbanks Northern Lights Stay
