EasyNorthern lights (aurora borealis) have enchanted, fascinated and inspired people for thousands of years, attracting nature-lovers and travelers worldwide to this day. Your adventure begins in Churchill, Manitoba where northern lights are active 300 nights each year.
Take to the skies on a helicopter tour, scanning the autumn tundra for migrating caribou, moose, and arctic foxes – with chances to spot early polar bears along Hudson Bay’s coastline.
ng, you’ll witness Aurora’s nightly dance of mystical light and colour against starry skies from curated viewing and photography areas in and around Churchill as well as a stunning location on the coast of the Hudson Bay, exclusive to Lazy Bear Lodge and Expeditions.
