10 Ways to See the Northern Lights in Fairbanks

Fairbanks, Alaska is considered one of the best places to see the Northern Lights in the world. The city is located inside the Auroral Oval—the area that hovers over the North Pole—which means more chances to see the Aurora Borealis. And it's not just a winter thing. The official Aurora season is August 21 to April 21. If the Northern Lights are on your bucket list, watch them in style with these over-the-top excursions, from relaxing in hot springs to snowmobile adventures to sleeping under the lights in a trendy dome.

7 Unexplained Disappearances in the Alaska Triangle

The Alaska Triangle is bounded by the lines between Anchorage, Juneau, and Utqiagvik (the city formerly known as Barrow until 2016). The area encompasses tens of thousands of square miles of harsh terrain where bitterly cold temperatures and long periods of darkness in the winter are the norms. Since 1988, more than 16,000 people have gone missing, but the mysteries began long before then. What’s causing these mysterious disappearances?
