Don't think you'd find many (any?) Brookies in Alaska. Substitute
northern Canada and you can get both the aurora and big Brookies.

I'm sure that's right. I wonder where's the southernmost part of the US
(other than McMurdo station :-) ) that the aurora can be seen.

You can see it pretty far south. Occasionally we get to see it in
Colorado, but it is a pale reminder of the show you can see further
north. I saw it in what I think is its full glory for a few days in
northern Canada. It seemed like you could reach up and touch the
curtains of unforgettable colors. Like an acid trip without the drugs.
