    Alaska.and this place were pretty close in latitude. It’s luck I think. However in Alaska it was me alone. Here there are guides and they supposedly talk to each other to find the best spots.

    I did not plan ahead other than “winter”. If I had to so.it again I would keep an eye for corona ejections and flight asap to a high chance zone that night… but it’s expensive this way.

    Where are you located? Asking because I live in the east coast and I am “6 hours direct flight” away from Iceland. That was going to be my next attempt if this one did not work.

      That’s how I did it when I went to Alaska also, I saw some colors but it wasn’t full wild like in your picture and I want to get that.

      I’m actually a perpetual traveler, I’m in Guatemala right now, but I went to Fairbanks so recently that I’m kind of giving it a couple years before I hunt the lights again.

      congratulations, btw, looks great

      lying down in the snow until tissue damage, becomes a concern is exactly what I will be doing whenever I find the wild lights myself.
