Aurora From the Skydeck

The Northwest Territories offers the best Aurora viewing opportunities in the world and there are a number of ways to view the Aurora.

Tonight you will join a small group and head to a rooftop viewing deck about 20 minutes from Yellowknife. The entire roof is a viewing deck where you can set up your tripod to photograph the Aurora, or just relax and enjoy the spectacle as it swirls across the sky. While you are waiting for the "show" relax in the station's lounge and enjoy a warm or cold drink and snack.
