When is the best time to see Northern Lights – the Aurora Borealis?
It is possible, given the right conditions, to see the Northern Lights in any month of the year while staying at our wilderness lodges. However maximum darkness is preferred so generally the long cold clear winter nights are best but any time after July through till May has excellent viewing possiblities. Though the traditional viewing season has been Jan-March it’s a lot more fun working with cameras in the warmer months at -20 C instead of -40 C. The Lodge at Dymond Lake has a wonderful heated, glassed in Aurora dome, so you can enjoy the lights without the numb fingers!
