I am also planning for a trip in Feb end though. I just started a seperate thread which i will delete after writing this .

I want to experience Northern lights and Arctic. I understand the uncertainty of the same. Reading lots of forum I conclude maximum chances are in Feb / March. Else please correct me.

I am planning to fly to Barrow and stay for a night. I will then stay in Fairbanks for few nights to increase my chances for northern lights. I am open to change in plans so please suggest better itinerary. I am looking for recommentations for tours / lodging / activity (at this time of the year).
How can I reach Point Barrow? Will I be able to walk on Arctic Ocean?
Places to see near FAI?


Thanks in advance,
