点评:went Aurora chasing with this company in Fairbanks 4 nights and I saw the aurora every night. I had experienced both end of the aurora chasing experience where one night it was a whole night of aurora substorms with the night sky just exploding in greens and magentas and a night where it was just a faint glow in the horizon seen mostly just through the camera lens.
Mike and Shannon were our guides in Fairbanks and I cant say enough good things about them. I didnt expect to learn the science of aurora chasing during these tours but they kept us in the loop with data and cloud coverage.. I learned about the Bz bt.. solar winds and all other elements that has to align to make for a great aurora show. those data didnt make sense to me prior to this tour lol.
Shannon is an excellent driver battling the unusual strong winds one night and Mike’s enthusiasm is just contagious. both are also amazing photographers. All of the pictures came out fantastic. You get all the pictures (web quality) with this company at no extra charge. Other company I went with only gave out 1 portrait and the other charged $50 per portrait.
I have spoken to Jacob and Steve over the phone for aurora forecast calls and both calls were pleasant and honest in the chances of seeing the aurora. if chances are small, they give u the option to continue or go on a different night or get a refund due to weather.
Our last night of aurora chasing in Fairbanks was very cloudy.. in fact it was snowing that afternoon. I chose to go ahead with the tour since it was our last night.. Mike is very good at finding a clear spot and he found us a spot that night just in time for us to see a substorm.. I saw the aurora dance one last time before we left Fairbanks. It was the perfect send off. I couldnt be happer.
To Greatland Adventures team, thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💚💚💚
翻译:在费尔班克斯,我跟随这家公司追赶极光 4 个晚上,每晚都能看到极光。我经历了追赶极光的两种体验:一个晚上,整个晚上都是极光亚暴,夜空中爆发出绿色和洋红色;另一个晚上,地平线上只有微弱的光芒,大部分只能透过相机镜头看到。
Mike 和 Shannon 是我们在费尔班克斯的导游,我对他们赞不绝口。我没想到会在这些旅行中学习追赶极光的科学知识,但他们让我们了解了数据和云层覆盖情况。我了解了 Bz bt……太阳风和所有其他必须配合才能形成一场精彩的极光秀的元素。在这次旅行之前,我不明白这些数据的意义,哈哈。
Shannon 是一名出色的司机,一天晚上,他与异常强风作斗争,而 Mike 的热情极具感染力。他们两人也都是出色的摄影师。所有的照片都拍得非常棒。这家公司提供所有照片(网页质量),无需额外付费。我去的另外一家公司只提供一张肖像照,另一家公司每张肖像照收费 50 美元。
我曾通过电话与 Jacob 和 Steve 交谈过极光预报电话,两次电话都令人愉快,并诚实地告知了看到极光的几率。如果几率很小,他们会给你选择继续或改天再去,或者因天气原因退款。
我们在费尔班克斯追逐极光的最后一晚天气非常阴沉……事实上,那天下午还下着雪。我选择继续旅行,因为那是我们的最后一晚……Mike 非常擅长寻找空旷的地方,那天晚上他为我们找到了一个地方,正好让我们看到了亚暴风雨……在我们离开费尔班克斯之前,我最后一次看到了极光舞动。这是完美的告别。我再高兴不过了。
致 Greatland Adventures 团队,衷心感谢你们。💚💚💚
