7 places to see the aurora borealis in Canada

Located directly beneath the "aurora aurora ring"—a ring-shaped area with extremely strong aurora activity—Canada is one of the most reliable places to witness this spectacular natural phenomenon. Here are some of the best spots to see the aurora borealis in Canada.

Yellowknife, Northwest Territories

Located just below the aurora borealis, Yellowknife has long been dubbed the "Aurora Capital of North America." This remote city enjoys clear skies for approximately 240 nights a year, and the chance of seeing the aurora borealis reaches 90% if you stay for three consecutive nights during the winter.

Visit between mid-January and early April, when temperatures are more pleasant, but the darkness is still thick enough to see the aurora borealis.

Churchill, Manitoba

Churchill is famous for being home to polar bears and is a great place to see the aurora borealis, with over 300 nights of aurora viewing each year. Its proximity to Hudson Bay also offers opportunities to see the aurora reflected on the water in the fall.

February and March are generally ideal times with moderate temperatures and clear skies, although September and October offer unique tours that combine aurora viewing and bear watching.

Whitehorse, Yukon

If you want comfortable accommodation with all the amenities, and the chance to see the aurora borealis, choose the capital of Yukon. The majestic mountain scenery also provides an impressive backdrop for photography.

February and March offer optimal conditions for viewing the aurora borealis, along with the Yukon Sourdough Rendezvous festival, which includes activities such as log throwing and dog sled racing.

Jasper National Park, Alberta

Some of Canada's top national parks offer an inspiring light show when conditions are favorable. Among them is Jasper, the world's second-largest dark-sky reserve, just a few hours' drive from Edmonton.

Come during the Jasper Dark Sky Festival (late October to November) to participate in special astronomy programs and photography classes.

Lake Muncho, British Columbia

This lesser-known gem along the Alaska Highway offers spectacular aurora viewing spots nestled among the northern Rocky Mountains, and attracts fewer visitors than other locations.

Consider combining your trip with a highway trip in Alaska between September and April of the following year. Don't forget to bring winter driving equipment, such as tire chains and a shovel.

Torngat Mountains National Park, Newfoundland and Labrador

This is a location in the far east of Canada where you can see the aurora borealis, situated within a vast area (9,700 km²) of pristine nature, with the cultural heritage of the Inuit, an indigenous people of Canada.

This location requires advance planning and is only accessible by chartered aircraft or boat. Visitors need to book all-inclusive packages through the Torngat Mountains base and research station in advance.

Lake Superior Provincial Park, Ontario

This is a great location for aurora viewing, although it's less common in Southern Canada. However, the Dark Sky Reserve between Sault Ste Marie and Wawa offers the best aurora viewing opportunities in Ontario.

It's a good idea to download an aurora forecast app and be prepared to travel to aurora viewing spots when there is strong aurora activity.
