When trying to find aurora in the sky, timing and location are key. Dark Sky Preserves, which are designated locations in Canada that are protected from light pollution, offer ideal conditions for viewing aurora. In Alberta, Wood Buffalo National Park, the largest in Canada, and the world’s largest Dark Sky Preserve, provides a prime location for spotting aurora activity, along with Elk Island National Park. Both locations offer clear visibility, limited interference from lights and a higher probability of northern lights activity.
