But not to worry, the guide still has a wealth of information they will share on the southbound journey.
Marvel at the majestic beauty of the northland's most famous waterway, the Yukon River, and learn of the river's stored past. Depending on the time of winter you visit you may have the opportunity to walk out on the frozen river and learn of its important role in village life along its route.
While the amazing arctic tundra will be covered with snow and/or ice your guide will stop for you to take pictures and to learn about the flora and fauna of the region. They will explain the science of the tundra but they will also invite you to reach in to the earth and touch the veins of ice just below the surface.
As you approach Fairbanks you will arrive at the homestead of the Arctic Circle Trading Post in Joy, Alaska and meet your Aurora guide. Joy is 60 miles outside of Fairbanks -- well outside the city lights which can affect your ability to see the northern lights. Here the Trading Post is warm to provide a resting area inside with hot water for instant coffee, tea, and cocoa. The Aurora Guide will be there to continue to share information about Alaska's Arctic and to keep an eye on the sky for you.
You will stay out during the prime activity time of the lights increasing your odds as much as you can in a one night viewing chance.
