Thank you both for your tips and suggestions. I appreciate it. If I were to visit Fairbanks/Barrow sometime between next week and the end of the month, would it still be possible to see the Northern Lights? What are my chances of seeing polar bears this time of year? Also, have any of you been to Adak? If so, is it worth seeing? I really appreciate your advice and I hope I can return the favor some day. Thanks again!
