Review & FAQ:
Many people claim that Yellowknife is the top spot in the world to watch the northern lights, and once you visit, it's hard to argue with that claim.
The temperature here regularly drops down to 40° during the cold winter months, but that doesn’t deter intrepid adventurers who want to see the spectacular show of the aurora. It's best to watch the light show from outside the city limits if possible; tours are typically available in the winter and late autumn, and there's something to suit almost every taste and budget if you do your research.
