The Aurora flares up when charged particles from the the sun interact with the Earth's outer atmosphere. The colors of the Aurora vary based on what layer of the atmosphere is being "excited." The most common color is an eerie green glow. Those Aurora are caused by the excitement of oxygen atoms about 120 kilometers above the Earth's surface.
In the central Northwest Territories, the Aurora is visible for an average of 240 nights per year. That's nearly every single night of the late summer, autumn, winter and early spring.
Northern lights are polar natural phenomenon, there is 95% chance to see the northern lights if weather is under good conditions but there may be due to weather or other natural factors lead to the Northern Lights cannot be observed or weak, our company assumes no responsibilities about this.

Great Slave Lake
Great Slave Lake is famous among anglers for its excellent trout and pike fishing, with its tributaries known for plenty of Arctic grayling. One species that many anglers may have never heard of but will enjoy catching is the inconnu, a large member of the whitefish family.
Old Town
One of the most diverse, historic, offbeat neighbourhoods in Canada, Old Town is the beating heart of Yellowknife. Here, where the Precambrian Shield blends into Great Slave Lake, gold seekers approximately 80 years ago pioneered what was to become the North's greatest settlement. Yellowknife eventually grew from its ramshackle roots and moved its city centre in the ’60s to what’s still today called “new town,” but the spirit of Old Town never died. Today, the area is an intriguing mash-up of iconoclastic spirit and local heritage. Log cabins stand next to designer mansions and colourful houseboats, artists sell their wares under the shadow of floatplanes soaring across the sky. Stroll down the famous Ragged Ass Road, enjoy some eclectic dining and hike to the top of Pilot’s Monument for the best view in the city.
