webcam over North Pole, Alaska, USA

Have you lived in Alaska several months,
or even years, and never have seen the aurora?
Visitors, are you in Alaska specifically to see the aurora?

WE SEE IT SEVERAL TIMES PER WEEK from North Pole, Alaska and the entire region! We prefer clear skies and we need to be awake to see the lights. Moon does NOT matter.

Current data
This is the current data reading and not the nightly forecast, Data changes by the minute.
Green does not mean aurora, it means a likelihood of aurora. Red indicates a higher chance. This graph is the highest Kp level forecast in the “3 day forecast” for this night.

Planning your Alaska trip to see the aurora? Check out the pages on this website to help you gather the latest and greatest. I recommend several businesses to help you…these recommendations are based on experience and knowledge. I do not recommend those that I would not be happy with myself. ~Amy
