North Pole is a town about twelve miles east of Fairbanks where they have the Santa Clause House"<img src="http://fairbanks-alaska.com/images/northpol.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Were we live in Alaska, it is below the Arctic Circle so we don't have "Total" darkeness, you have to go above that for no sunrise in the days. In the North of Alaska, it there is no sunrise for almost two months. Here where we are at, the days are about four to five hours during the shortest time. During the summer, it is daylight all night long for the most part, it starts to look like a sunset, then it is a sunrise...At night in the winter, we get to see the Northern Lights that at time cover the sky, and move as if someone was shaking a curtian. Here are some photos of them.<img src="http://northernlightsnome.homestead.com/files/1898_32.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://northernlightsnome.homestead.com/files/5474_18.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://northernlightsnome.homestead.com/files/6720_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://northernlightsnome.homestead.com/files/7826_11.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://northernlightsnome.homestead.com/files/2713_21.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />"You can see more of the Northern Lights at this site by a guy in Nome, Alaska that takes them all the time and took these ones."<a href="http://northernlightsnome.homestead.com" target="_blank">http://northernlightsnome.homestead.com</a> <img src="http://northernlightsnome.homestead.com/files/1898_32.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://northernlightsnome.homestead.com/files/5474_18.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://northernlightsnome.homestead.com/files/6720_05.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://northernlightsnome.homestead.com/files/7826_11.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  <img src="http://northernlightsnome.homestead.com/files/2713_21.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  "Have you ever heard them?? I have when they formed directly overhead when, as a boy, we lived on the farm. Eerily wonderful! I love the Northern Lights. City folks are deprived when they don't get to see."  "Well some folks have said they make crackling sound, I have never heard it and in my youth I had above average hearing and never even heard a peep and I spent many hours out in a snowmachine suit laying in the snow watching them.But, since they are always moving when they come out... We got new people here that had just moved to Alaska and seeing them for the first time, my mom would tell them that if they pulled a sheet out of the dryer full of static electricity and shook it at the Northern Lights, it would make them move much faster... to our entertainment, some of them would whip out sheets and start flapping them at the sky and be yelling "It works!! IT WORKS!!", which of course it didn't, but it was vastly entertaining for the rest of us.She would also tell them that if they "Whistled", they would move closer... So late at night you could here sheets flapping and whistles......"  "One night when Roughwoods and I were snowmaching back from our cabins, it was about -20 and they came out and covered the sky. We just stopped a few miles out from town and just laid back on our machines and just watched the show. Really hard to explain the magic of them unless you get to see them in person. Most of the time they are just a green color, but at times they will have reds, yellows and other colors mixing in with them. They can cover the whole sky at times and lite up the dark like day.The Japanese believe that if you conceive a child under them, the child will grow up smarter... so we get a lot of winter Japanese here, many go to Chena Hot Springs and get in the water at -40 and watch the show...er lights...<img src="http://www.forumsforums.com/3_9/images/smilies/g3/pat.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />"<img src="http://northernlightsnome.homestead.com/files/5649_06t.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
