1. Yellowknife, Northwest Territories

As the capital of Canada's Northwest Territories, Yellowknife is regarded as one of the country's top aurora cities with optimal northern location and weather conditions. The lights appear here on average three nights per week from late August through April, with peak viewing between 10p.m. and 2a.m. Though cold, winter temperatures help guarantee clear dark skies ideal for spotting the aurora borealis.  

The prime aurora viewing season in Yellowknife is between August and October.
