Things Canada gave the world.

Northern lights

Canada is also known for being one of the best places to enjoy the best light show on earth: the northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis.

Every northern country is famous for being home to this fantastic natural spectacle. Still, sometimes people forget that Canada is an excellent choice, as much of the country is within the auroral oval (the zones where the lights are visible).

So, you don’t need to go to Alaska, Finland, Iceland, or Norway to see the vibrant green, yellow and red lights dancing in the sky at night.

Some of Canada’s best places to see the northern lights include Yellowknife in the northwest territories, Whitehorse Yukon, Torngat Mountains National Park, and Northern Saskatchewan. But there are many others! Just remember that you have to go between September and March when there’s enough darkness at night to see them.
