About the Aurora: The Aurora is very dynamic and exhibits systematic motions on a global scale. The Aurora's light is produced by a high vacuum electrical discharge. An electrical discharge is the passage of electricity through thin gas usually accompanied by a glow, arc or spark. Energy from the sun creates the Aurora. Auroral color depends on the type of atoms and molecules struck by the energetic particles.

Aurora Borealis (which you can see from Alaska) means 'Dawn of the North.' Throughout a single night, the auroral display varies in intensity and form according to a process know as the auroral substorm. Auroral activity varies from year to year because the sun is more or less active according to an eleven year cycle.

Enjoy A Taste of Alaska

A Taste of Alaska Lodge is situated on 280 natural wooded acres near Fairbanks, Alaska.

The property features views of the Alaska Range Mountains, Mt. McKinley (Denali) and the Trans-Alaska Pipeline, in addition to the beautiful surrounding acreage.

The original 160 acres was homesteaded by Walter and Dorothy Eberhardt in 1947. Walter continues to farm today at age 86.

In 1992, Dave and Debbie Eberhardt bought an additional 120 acres to start A Taste of Alaska Lodge, starting with the two-bedroom Log House.
