They're truly a sight to see. It's one of the few things I can remember from when I lived in Alaska. I can't wait to go back to see them someday.

As much as I want to ride my motorcycle to Prudhoe Bay in the summer, I equally as much want to go in the middle of winter JUST to see the Aurora Borealis. I'm not sure if I can talk Carolina into going up there when it's that cold though. She may tell me to go by myself. LOL
