Aurora Borealis in Canada

Special tour guides are now available in Canada that take you to the best spots to see the Aurora Borealis (the northern lights). Although famously green, red dominant aurora borealis also occurs in some areas and sometimes a mixture of the two can occur in places like Alaska.

The Aurora Borealis was named after the Roman Goddess of Dawn Aurora and the Greek name for the North Wind Boreas. This is also known as the dance of the spirits by the Cree people and although this phenomenon can be seen in places all over the world the arctic islands of Canada are by far the best locations to get a glimpse of this beautiful natural display.
