Review:
Located on the tip of the Seward Peninsula, Nome is a great choice for anyone who wants to enjoy the aurora while getting a taste of life in rural Alaska. The 350 miles of road originating in the town make it easy to explore some of the most untouched wilderness in Alaska, but the northern lights can be seen as close as one mile outside of town. The aurora can typically be seen here between November and March; green and white are the only colors seen most of the time, but other colors do appear on occasion. Map
