I crossed the Arctic Circle by air and by road. One of the things I really wanted to do while in Alaska was to cross the Arctic Circle, it would be stupid not to. I was so close, I just had to! There were 2 options for crossing the Arctic Circle one involved a very LONG, day car ride. The other involved a long car ride with a stop to see the Northern Lights AND a short flight. Any chance to see the lights as many times as possible was our aim for the trip. So we chose the flight up to the Arctic Circle and then a nice coach ride down the Dalton Highway to watch the Northern Lights in Joy, Alaska and then 'home' to Fairbanks. It was a LONG day but so worth the beautiful scenery and clean air. You know you have found an amazing travel companion when you can be up at the butt crack of dawn, return home at the butt crack of dawn the next day and still be smiling ear to ear. Thanks Sylv, glad to have shared an awesome day with you!
