How to Maximize Your Aurora-Viewing Probability

The aurora can be seen in the Yellowknife area up to 240 days of the year, which is when our skies are dark. They are almost always visible when there are no heavy clouds. In order to maximize the probability of seeing the aurora, three consecutive days of aurora-viewing is recommended.
