it'll be sorta hard to see in the light. But you can see them a lil still. And if your in a more southern area it'll be darker in the summer then in the north. So you could always see it during the night.
2 :
You will not have much darkness in which to view them.
3 :
You need darkness to see the aurora and you don't get much night in Alaska in May. You would need to be out in the darkest period of the night to see an aurora. They do occur but you will need some luck to see one when the opportunity is so limited.
4 :
Probably not. It's too light during the night at the end of may to see them. A good time to come up and see them is in January or February.
5 :
Alaska gets 16-17 hours of sunlight a day in may. You might be able to catch a glimpse of the aurora borealis, but if you do it will probably be around 2AM. You likely hood of seeing it also depends on where in Alaska you are.
