Probability of seeing the Aurora during a long stay in Yellowknife

I stayed in Yellowknife for a long time from January to February 2025, so I will summarize the probability of seeing the aurora and the town at that time! What you can do in Yellowknife ・Watch the aurora ・Experience extreme cold (-40°C) ・Dog sledding ・Ice road ・Visit certificate and pin badge for 60°N Yellowknife is a very famous place for Asians such as Japanese and Koreans, and I rarely met Canadians or other Westerners. For that reason, most tour companies have Japanese staff, and inquiries and on-site support up until the day can often be done in Japanese◎ Most people who visit here stay for 3 nights or more and participate in aurora viewing tours from the first day of arrival! The tour company took us directly from the night flight to the viewing point. I think many people are worried about cold weather clothing, but in most cases the tour company will provide it. There may be conditions such as "tour for more than a certain number of days", so it is necessary to check! I arrived during the day, but it was -30°C, and I had to wait at the airport for a while after arriving at the airport. The cold weather caused the outside of the aircraft to freeze, and the cargo hold door would not open lol The bus doors would not open automatically after a long drive, and the keyhole of the house we lived in froze, so we had to rattle it for about 5 minutes in the freezing cold. There are many cold weather effects here and there, such as Beck's Kennels, a tour company that mainly does dog sledding. The owner is a former champion in dog sledding competitions, and has about 200 Alaskan huskies. Many people try this out before going to see the aurora, and they drive at a pretty fast speed, so it's colder than seeing the aurora, and we strongly recommend that participants bring a face mask (the kind that only exposes the eyes)! The ice road is a road on a lake that is open for a limited time. The temperature and density of the ice are measured before opening, so there is nothing to worry about. The ice is 2m thick, but as you can see in the photo, it is transparent, and it gave me a strange feeling that was a little scary. At the visitor center you can get a certificate of visiting 60° north latitude. It's free and no reservation is required. It's in the town, so it's a good idea to visit when you have time. #Yellowknife #CanadaTrip #Aurora #trip #aurora
