americasgreatoutdoors: The University of Alaska Fairbanks Geophysical Institute estimates the auroras are visible 243 nights a year from the Fairbanks area. Many photographers escape Fairbank’s ambient lights by traveling the Elliott or Steese Highways to capture the auroras. A popular destination is the Wickersham Dome Trailhead parking lot at mile 28 and nearby pullouts on the Elliott Highway. Those trails lead into the Bureau of Land Management-managed one-million-acre White Mountains National Recreation Area and its winter trails. Here’s a photo taken near the Wickersham Dome Trailhead.Photo: Karen Laubenstein, BLM-Alaska  The Northern Lights are on my life list.

CHILDREN EXAMINE A BOX TURTLE AT STILLWATER, NEW YORK, NEAR ADIRONDACK FOREST PRESERVE, 07/1973 Anne LaBastille, photographer.  From the EPA’s DOCUMERICA series  Reblogging unironically.  As a child I was in a Save the Turtles Club with my friend Erin (we were the founding and sole members).  We rode around our neighborhood on bikes to help turtles in the middle of the road get to the other side.  My family still stops anytime there is a turtle in the middle of the road, get out of our cars, and risk life and limb to help turtles get to where they’re headed.
