We were in great hands with Brian our drivere/guide. He was very informative about Fairbanks, the aurora, history, astronomy, photography, and also brought along hot chocolate to warm us up. He locaed a viewing spot and we were delighted with the fantastic light show. The van was kept with the engine running so we could be outside for 10 minutes then hop inside to thaw out then outside again....minus 25 degree temperature and 10 mph wind making it feel like minus 35. Wear every piece of clothing you brought with you. Brian drove safely on the ice.
