An iconic digital temperature sign on the UAF campus that reads Fairbanks’ extreme cold and seasonal light. Photograph the glowing numerals against aurora, blue-hour skies, snowy foregrounds, or midnight sun backlight. Easy on-foot access with nearby campus parking; public and free. Best at dusk or night for the illuminated display and aurora (Sept–Apr), or in late evening summer for long golden-hour light. Dress for cold; batteries drain fast in low temps.
