Fairbanks – The Golden Heart of Alaska

Fairbanks exudes energy, light and heat like nowhere else in the world. With the arctic wilderness right on its doorstep and the beautiful and magnificent Denali National Park as a neighbor, you are guaranteed experiences that you usually would only dream of. In addition to its proximity to these natural wonders, the town is also charming and beautiful in itself. The town was established in 1901 after the discovery of gold mines, which resulted in thousands of people moving to Fairbanks. Afterwards, Fairbanks became a vibrating cultural and economic epicenter. For over 100 years, Fairbanks played a vital role in Alaska’s economy, education, and military.

Take a trip to the Arctic Circle

Take a day trip to the Arctic Circle and experience a landscape like no other. Start out in Fairbanks where you are picked up in a tour car, along with an informative and friendly Alaskan Guide, which will make sure that the trip will be unforgettable. The tour goes north, where you drive on the renowned ‘Dalton Highway’. On the trip there will be a few scheduled stops. First stop is the city Joy where you visit ‘Arctic Circle Trading Post’, which is a small cozy place where you will find a small souvenir shop. After a quick stop in Joy the tour heads to the Yukon River before the tour reaches the Trans Alaska pipeline, which is an above-ground pipeline that goes all the way from north to south – a distance of around 1,300 miles. You then follow the pipeline all the way up to the Arctic Circle – through forests, open wit and hilly terrain, while the pipeline bays and bends over and under roads and rivers. Yukon River is a magnificent river, and is the most well-known northern river. Here you will learn about the river’s history and development.

After the Yukon River will slowly begin to move across the barren tundra landscape that is characterized by permafrost. After driving through the barren tundra you will gradually reach the Arctic Circle, which you can see on a sign on the road. On this tour you will receive an “Arctic Circle Adventure Certificate” which is proof that you have been so high up north. At the end of the tour you visit the small town of Coldfoot before the tour heads home. The trip home does not take place in the car but in a small propeller plane. To fly in and propeller plane over Alaska is an unforgettable experience. You get the opportunity to see Alaska from above where you can see the rivers and pipeline that you saw earlier on the trip. In addition, the flight in general is very beautiful. Especially over the evening where you really can get an overview of Alaska’s wilderness and its harsh of brutal beauty.

Experience the northern lights

You must have seen pictures of the mysterious and strange green light that occasionally appear on the dark night sky. This can actually be experienced in Alaska, with the greatest potential in Fairbanks. Geographically speaking, Fairbanks is located under the polar lights that can be seen when the solar wind is stronger than normal, which brings large electrical discharges that winds electrically charged particles toward Earth. The particles are deflected by Earth’s magnetic field and spirals back and forth between the earth’s magnetic poles. When these particles then meet with atmospheric atoms, they send out radiation in the form of visible green light.

In the summer it is not often that you can see the Northern Lights, as there is light almost 24 hours a day. But If you visit in the winter period the chances of seeing the northern lights a much better because there is darker for a longer time. If you go on a guided tour the guides know all the good places, times and especially those aspects that makes it possible to see the northern lights. If you decide you want to see the Northern Lights, it’s all worth it. You may be up in the middle of the night and stand and look at the sky in a while – but if you see it, it’s worth the wait! All your expectations will be met as soon as some mysterious lights takes over the sky. This amazing experience will take your breath away!
