Hi,

Perhaps this flyer (pdf) from the northern Norwegian town of Tromø could be a starting point:

"http://www.visittromso.no/Global/Brosjyrer/Visit_Tromsø_Northern_Lights_2014_spreads.pdf"

Not easy to post the link here due to the special Norwegian letter ø in the file name, but you can copy and paste or you will also find the reference on the http://www.visittromso.no front page.

I would recommend Fairbanks in mid-March this year. You can read about the reasons for this, and how to photograph it, in an article that I published HERE. Enjoy.

A few thoughts...

- We are on the way down from the peak of the 11-year cycle. So you should do it now or in 10 years.

- There are several websites with short-term aurora predictions, one linked by benjaminw. The predictions are not useful for trip planning (time horizon of a few days).

- Tromso is a pleasant town with a good airport and plenty of hotels. You can also reach it using the Norwegian coastal ferry.
