After seeing this video, I think Coldfoot, Alaska, might be my bucket list location for viewing the northern lights.
ALASKA — Has there ever been a more aptly named town than Coldfoot, Alaska? With a population of less than 40, it is found on the frigid road featured in "Ice Road Truckers."
Given its location north of the Arctic Circle, Coldfoot is downright chilly. The name apparently comes from gold-seekers in the early 1900s reaching the area and then "getting cold feet" about going any further north. It's that intimidating. Where Coldfoot excels is showcasing the northern lights. The location is an ideal spot to see particular vibrancy in the waves of light that are also known as aurora borealis.The most common colors you see in the northern lights are green and pink. But as you see here, you can get a much broader range of hues when the circumstances are ideal. Even red makes an appearance, which is absolutely stunning.
My brother and his family just got back from a trip to Finland, where they got some great views of the aurora borealis. But after seeing this video, I think Coldfoot might be my bucket list location for viewing the lights.
