Not many people outside of Canada have ever heard of Churchill, Manitoba, but it's one of the top three places in the world to see the northern lights thanks to its location directly under the auroral oval.
One of the best things about Churchill is that you don’t have to brave the cold to watch the night sky; instead, relax in one of the comfortable covered Aurora Domes. The lights are best here between January and March, but they can sometimes be seen in the summer as well. Weather permitting, head to Goose Creek to build a bonfire and admire the show. Map
