On clear nights at the lodge, you seem close enough to the stunning northern lights to reach out and touch them!

But Churchill is to the northern lights what Broadway is to musical theatre: the shows are big, the actors are reliable, and you never know when you're going to encounter an award-winning performance.

As if polar bears, birds, beluga whales and the hundreds of other animal species to see around Churchill aren't enough, Churchill is also one of the best places in the world to see the Aurora borealis or Northern Lights.  Churchill is unique because it is situated directly beneath the "Aurora Crown" in the Northern Hemisphere. Aurora activity occurs on over 300 nights throughout the year but February through April provides the best viewing opportunity. During February and March, Natural Habitat Adventures offers trip to Churchill to view the Northern Lights...

When to go: The best time to visit Churchill depends on what you want to see.
