Five years in and I'm still puzzled why everyone loves Alaska summers. Winter nights with the aurora are quieter and way more stunning.

Wait, sitting on a frozen lake like @mila_fox41 said? That's where you lose me. No way I'm trusting ice that much, the thought of something cracking gives me chills worse than the cold. I'll take a noisy summer hike with mosquitoes any day over feeling like I might just fall through into dark water. Winter is pretty but that's a level of calm I don't think I could ever handle.

Oh totally agree! I was just up near Fairbanks last January, and sitting out on a frozen lake with the whole sky dancing green and purple... it was magic. Summer feels so busy and buggy, but those winter nights are so peaceful you can hear your own heartbeat.
