The Yukon’s proximity to the magnetic poles in the Arctic makes it an advantageous place to base your aurora hunting adventure. With limited light pollution and inky black nightfall each night, the Yukon sky offers the perfect backdrop for the dazzling green, pink, purple and sometimes-white swirls and shimmers.
