Hotel · Fairbanks North Star Borough

"Tucked away in a boreal forest in Interior Alaska, north of Fairbanks, Borealis Basecamp offers comforts of an upscale lodge. It opened in 2017 and is a coveted spot for northern lights chasers. The 28 geodesic igloos have ceiling windows for aurora viewing. In 2022, cube-shaped cabins were added with floor-to-ceiling windows. The location is ideal for aurora hunting, being 30 miles from city lights. The camp is open in summer for tundra exploration. Rooms include igloos with king-size beds and cubes with additional lofts. The restaurant, Latitude 65, sources local ingredients and offers a variety of drinks. Activities include sled dog rides, reindeer hikes, and ATV tours." - Bailey Berg
