Aurora Cruise
A friend of mine is retiring and he mentioned that he's contemplating going
to Fairbanks, Alaska to see the Aurora Borealis, but he'd be doing it alone since his wife would not accompany him to such a cold and remote place. I told him I thought I saw an Alaska cruise with an aurora theme in Sky & Telescope and he said that he might get his wife to join his aurora quest if it were from the deck of a cruise liner. I came home and looked through several recent S&T issues, but I could not find an add for such a cruise. Was I mistaken? Do any of you know of an Alaska cruise specifically geared for aurora sighting? Thanks, Mike |

Aurora Cruise
At the risk of sounding a bit commercial, the non-profit Astronomical
Society of the Pacific is also putting together an aurora-viewing trip to Iceland in February of '05.
