Northern Lights
On May 10th - 11th, Albertans had the opportunity to witness the dancing beauty of the Northern Lights, or Auroura Borealis, in one of the strongest light shows in decades.
Alberta's dark skies and wide-open spaces make the province an excellent spot to chase the northern lights, especially from September to March. If you're willing to skip a few hours of sleep, the reward is basking in the glow of the lava lamp-like bands of light in shades of green, yellow, pink and mauve.
Alberta's Wood Buffalo region, in the northern reaches of the province, is a Dark Sky Preserve (an area that reduces or restricts light pollution to protect naturally dark night skies).
The Northern Lights are just one highlight of Alberta's natural beauty and unique geographic position. If you have seen the Northern Lights, we welcome you to share your experience and tips in the comments.
