The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, are one of the most spectacular natural phenomena in the world. They are caused by the interaction of charged particles from the sun with the Earth's magnetic field, creating dazzling displays of green, pink, purple, and blue lights in the night sky.
If you are looking for a place to witness this amazing spectacle, look no further than Aurora Village, a unique and cosy destination near Yellowknife, Canada. Aurora Village is a place for visitors to experience the magic and wonder of the North. It is located on the Ingraham Trail, directly under the aurora oval, which is the area where the Northern Lights are most visible. This means that Aurora Village has some of the best chances of seeing the aurora in North America, and possibly in the world.
What Makes Aurora Village Special?
Aurora Village is not just a viewing site, but a whole experience. It is owned by an Indigenous family that has been living in the area for generations, and they share their heritage, culture, and traditions with their guests. The village itself is a picturesque gathering of 21 traditional teepees and hilltop viewpoints surrounding a pristine frozen lake. Inside the teepees are wood-burning stoves and hot drinks, where you can enjoy the comfort and privacy of your own accommodation while watching the aurora from your window or balcony.
Aurora Village also offers a variety of activities and packages that suit your needs and budget, such as:

When Is The Best Time To Visit Aurora Village?
The Northern Lights can be seen year-round in Aurora Village, but there are some factors that affect their visibility and intensity. The most important factor is the darkness of the sky, which means that you need to avoid the summer months when the sun barely sets. The best time to visit Aurora Village is from mid-August to late September, and from mid-November to mid-April. These are the periods when the nights are long and dark enough for the aurora to shine.
Another factor that influences the aurora is the solar activity, which is unpredictable and varies from day to day. The more active the sun is, the more likely it is to produce strong auroras. However, even on a quiet night, you can still see some faint auroras in Aurora Village if the sky is clear. To increase your chances of seeing the Northern Lights, you can check the aurora forecast online or use an app that alerts you when there is a high probability of aurora activity.
