Fish Wish Charters and Tours

The
Northern
Lights of
Alaska		 Hey your system is asleep. Better go get some java- your really missing out on some cool stuff!!!

 

 

 

 
Welcome to the Fish Wish Charters and Tours Aurora and Northern Lights page. We will be updating this page with more photos and aurora information as this site matures. Please book mark us now.
 
We designed this page with one thing in mind, to entice you to come experience one of the most mystical and spectacular events that takes place here in Alaska - The dancing of the Northern Lights. What better place to experience them than on a fully equipped charter vessel  The Wish Maker!!
 

  • When to come onboard

The best time to view aurora is around the equinox (March and late September - October) because this time of year offers the best trade-off between mild weather and dark skies. During the summer months, night skies are not dark enough to view aurora, and in midwinter temperatures in the -0 degree range make outdoor aurora viewing somewhat unpleasant. Though we can't guarantee you will be able to view the Northern Lights while on the M/V Wish Maker you will still be able to witness some of Alaska's  incredible beauty.

It is not possible to predict aurora activity very far in advance. As solar activity increases towards the maximum in 2000-2001, the aurora will be even less predictable, with forecasts being limited to a few days based on current observations of solar flares and sunspots.
If you need a prediction on aurora activity We suggest that you check out the Aurora forecast maps from the University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute.

The northern lights have fascinated, and often terrified, humans for thousands of years. The people of the north who saw the aurora frequently developed many legends and stories about it, while those who lived further south and rarely saw the aurora thought it was a supernatural omen of war or destruction.

  • It is thought by folk lore if you conceive a child while under the northern lights, your child will be a prodigy like Mozart.
  • Folk lore also has said: That if you whistle and sing to the aurora it will come down and take you. Incidentally there will be no whistling while onboard the M/V Wish Maker.
As people began to seek more natural explanations for the aurora, they came up with many theories: reflected firelight from the edge of the world, sunlight reflected from the arctic ice, or maybe reflected by ice crystals high in the sky. It wasn't until the 20th century that people finally began to make headway in the study of the aurora, and there are still many unanswered questions about it.
