Churchill, Canada

If you want to view the northern lights, a trip to Churchill, Canada, where the aurora borealis appears approximately 300 nights a year, is a fantastic way to do it. Northern lights lovers and scholars can spend some time at the Churchill Northern Studies Centre learning about northern lights photography and research. Astronomers from all over the world come here to study this phenomenon.

The greatest time to visit Churchill for a night sky trip is from January to March when there is the most activity. Because seeing the northern lights is so popular in Churchill, you can make your trip even more memorable by combining it with a polar bear experience or booking an Aurora Dome, a plexiglass dome that allows you to view the night sky from the comfort of a modern igloo.
