This live camera looks out over Fairbanks, the largest city in Interior Alaska. Because the city sits far north, daylight swings dramatically through the year, so the view changes a lot between seasons. Use the page to see current conditions before you plan a trip or to follow winter skies from afar.
About Fairbanks
Fairbanks lies in the Tanana Valley, about 285 metres above sea level, on the Chena River. It is the gateway to the interior of Alaska and grew up around the gold rush and later the military and university presence. Surrounding forests of spruce and birch, low hills and the wide river valley shape the landscape. The city is known as a base for exploring the Arctic and sub-Arctic wilderness of the state.
What the camera shows
The stream is a live player from a local source, so the exact view depends on its position and the weather. Depending on the angle, you may see city streets, rooftops, trees and the sky above the valley. The most interesting times to watch are the long summer evenings with low sun, and winter mornings when the light is short and blue. Clear nights from late August into spring are the periods when northern lights are sometimes visible, though that depends on activity and cloud cover.
Climate and getting around
Fairbanks has a subarctic climate with very cold winters, often well below freezing, and warm, short summers with long days. The best time to visit for mild weather is June through August. Nearby cameras on this site include a second Fairbanks view at 4 km, another at 9 km, an Aurora Camera at 10 km and a Muskox camera at 10 km, which help you compare conditions around the area.
