Fairbanks Aurora Cam
Point a live webcam at the Alaskan night sky and wait: the northern lights, whenever they dance.
About this view
Fairbanks sits under the auroral oval, which makes it one of the most reliable places on Earth to see the northern lights, visible here on roughly two nights out of three in season. This live cam points at that sky and waits.
Aurora season runs late August through April (summer nights are too bright), with the strongest displays typically between 10 pm and 3 am Alaska time. Green curtains are the staple; strong solar activity adds pinks and purples that move like slow fire.
Pro tip: pair this live webcam with a space-weather app. When the Kp index spikes, open this view. And when the lights do come out, they can fill the entire frame within minutes.
