"Fairbanks is the ideal location in Alaska to view the lights because it is situated under the “Auroral Oval” – a huge ring above the Earth’s Geomagnetic North Pole where Aurora activity is concentrated. Additionally, this particular spot is located far from coastal areas that contribute to its clear skies, making the lights more visible at night."

"Open the menu at Momofuku Nishi or a greasy spoon called Food Factory in Fairbanks, Alaska, and there it is: the Impossible Burger, served with fries and special sauce for $18 at David Chang’s joint." - Clint Rainey, Clint Rainey
