Canada’s Northern Lights: A Celestial Spectacle
Few experiences compare to witnessing the northern lights, and Canada’s vast wilderness provides some of the best viewing opportunities in the world.
Where to See the Aurora Borealis
Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut are top destinations for aurora enthusiasts. Yellowknife, the capital of the Northwest Territories, offers clear skies and dedicated viewing lodges. Churchill, Manitoba, known for polar bears, also provides stunning northern lights displays during the winter months.
Planning Your Trip
Winter is the best season to see the lights, with tours often including cozy accommodations, snowshoeing, and cultural experiences with Indigenous communities.
