Yellowknife Aurora
📍Reason for Recommendation:
Yellowknife is a globally recognized aurora observation mecca. Compared to other aurora observation sites, Yellowknife’s geographic location, weather conditions and aurora clarity create an excellent environment for viewing the aurora.
Aurora Borealis occurs more often and more consistently
Yellowknife is uniquely situated in the heart of the Northern Lights Belt, where the aurora borealis can be observed more than 240 nights a year, especially between October and March. The aurora is more active in Yellowknife than in other places, such as Norway or Iceland, so you have a better chance of capturing the spectacle of the dancing aurora borealis.
Clear weather: the perfect backdrop for the Aurora Borealis!
Yellowknife’s weather conditions provide an ideal backdrop for aurora viewing. The dry winter air and clear skies here greatly reduce the chance of cloud cover. Compared to some parts of Northern Europe, Yellowknife has a higher rate of clear skies and therefore a more consistent chance of auroras.
Pristine environment free of light pollution
Yellowknife is relatively small and far from a major metropolitan area, so there is no light pollution. This makes the Aurora Borealis shine even brighter in the dark.
Yellowknife offers a variety of observing experiences such as aurora viewing houses, igloos and traditional cabins. You can choose to watch the aurora through panoramic windows from the comfort of a warm interior or lay outside on an igloo and immerse yourself in the aurora borealis in 360 degrees.
