Thought this thread could use a bump

I have the possibility of going to Barrow for work in November and I'm trying to decide if I should jump on it or pass. I work in Florida so it will be a looooong flight. I'm really excited to possibly see the Northern Lights, but I know it's going to be freakin' cold. Can you see them from indoors, or do you have to go outside to see them?

Also, how easy is it to get a ride on on a dog sled?

I'd like to make the most of my time in Barrow but probably won't have much time to explore elsewhere in Alaska unless I plan something after my trip. (I have been on an Alaskan cruise a few years though)
