The coldest place I've ever been 3
"Chena Hot Springs Resort" namely, it has a large natural hot spring.
Oh, would you like to soak in a hot spring before going to see the northern lights?

If you don't mind to do it under the cold outside like this!

You must pass this way to reach the hot spring, only swim wear. Everyone ran through to pass here, so some people slipped on this icy way. I also ran through here, shouting "Ahhhh---ヽ(`Д´)ノ------!!!!!"(正確には日本語でうおぉぉーー!! かな。)
何人かここで豪快にすっ転んでましたが、めちゃくちゃ寒かったので気遣う余裕はありませんでした。ごめんなさい。
If you soaked your hair into the spring, it would be frozen like icicles. So I enjoyed to change my hairstyle like an unicorn or a Super Saiyan. /スーパーサイヤ人*You can click
But it was so difficult to return frozen hair under the cold weather that I had to go back to the locker room with a funky icy hairstyle. Someone told me "Oh, you are very freezing!"
Snow coach tour Let's go
The tour There was a mountain hut enough to accommodate about 20 people. It looked like a Mongolian ger. We can have some hot drink there. (miso soup is available)
Now, I'll tell you some tips to take a photo for the northern lights. But, I don't have a good knowledge about camera, so I may be unable to explain about them well.
Photo gear
1. Camera
A camera which can expose for about 30 seconds. If it has a function to expose about 30 seconds, you can get a photo even a digital camera. I used EOS Kiss鶚 by Cannon.
2. Tripod
A tripod is absolutely essential to avoid a camera shake.
3. Cable release
You can require a long exposure and it helps you avoid touching the camera.
Tips
1: If you brought your camera from the cold outside to the warm place, your camera would be damaged by dew. It's good for you to keep your camera wrap in a towel or cover it in a plastic bag.
2: Never use flashlight. When you make an exposure to take a photo, using flashlight will be spoiled your photo as well as someone's photo.
3. Never littering to save our nature.
Sorry! Although these pictures are not clear, have fun!


This picture was transfered from a photographic collection.

Orion was shining in the winter night sky. The northern lights looked like a flapping curtain in the wind. I was captivated by the unearthly beautiful sky.
場所を選ぶ際に、フェアバンクスかイエローナイフか迷いましたが、12月の天候はアラスカの方が比較的落ち着いているとあったので、フェアバンクスを選びました。ラッキーな事に天候に恵まれ、2晩バッチリ、オーロラを堪能できました。
そう、あれは確か11月、一時帰国からアメリカへ戻る時、ちょうどアンカレッジ上空を通過していた時の事、(結構夜中だったと思う。)機内から空一面に広がるオーロラを見る事ができました。私はずっと窓に顔を押し付けてそれを見ていました。(ブタ鼻になるくらい顔を押し付けていたかも。)
アラスカ上空を夜中に通過する飛行機をご利用に際には、ちょっと外を眺めてみてはいかがでしょう?ああ、思い出した!そういえばこの一時帰国の後、自分の不注意からダレス空港の入国審査でエラい目に遭ったなぁ。自分一人だったので、英語がさっぱり分からず半べそ状態でした...。それはまたの機会に。
