Edmonton, located in Northern Alberta, is still not as far north as Canada’s top aurora
watching spots. However, it does enjoy frequent northern lights displays that appear on
average of about 90 nights per year. Northern lights that are caused by geomagnetic activity
are usually observed from September to April. Time around spring and autumn equinoxes is
when “solar storms,” causing aurora borealis, happen most often.
To capture the elusive lights dancing in the sky you have to get away from the big city to avoid
light pollution and hope for clear skies. Some of the best areas include Beaver Hills Dark Sky
Preserve, Athabasca, Fort McMurray and Elk Island National Park, located just East of the city.
