A Winter Adventure in Churchill, Manitoba—The Best Place on Earth to See the Aurora!
In the same land that hosts the beluga whales of summer and polar bears in autumn comes an amazing phenomenon that illumines the dark winter skies. The northern lights—also called the aurora borealis—brighten the night in an ethereal display of color. Churchill has some of the most intense auroral activity on Earth, with often-clear skies that make it the ideal viewing destination. Photograph the lights from five heated vantage points exclusively for our guests, including a cabin in the boreal forest that we access via private snowcoach over a frozen creek, and from our custom-built Aurora Pod®, with a 360° view of the night sky through its glass top and sides. On this exciting Arctic adventure, our days are filled with distinctly northern activities like dog sledding, while nights offer potential for the best aurora viewing on the planet.
Highlights:
- Watch in comfort from a selection of six private viewing locations, each with heated interiors and comfortable seating and located well outside town in total darkness.
- Aboard our custom snowcoach, venture deep into the North Woods as we travel atop a frozen creek, keeping an eye out for moose, fox and Arctic hare.
- Learn about local lifestyles of Indigenous peoples on an array of winter activities, including snowshoeing and a traditional dog sled ride.
