A faint glow appears on the horizon. Slowly, soft curtains of color shimmer across the northern sky. The colors bend and weave and slowly begin to fade. The night sky darkens again. You have just witnessed a display of awe inspiring Aurora Borealis (the Northern Lights). Churchill is one of the best places in Canada to witness the Northern Lights and each winter Frontiers North offers a program to experience this phenomenon. Our programs to Churchill provide an exciting alternative for viewing the Northern Lights; watch the Arctic sky from the back deck of a wide-bodied, comfortable Tundra Buggy. During the winter, we move one of our Buggies to an appropriate area, far from the lights of the community, and park in a safe spot that provides an excellent backdrop for Aurora photos. The Buggies are heated and have on-board washroom facilities. This exciting outing is different from any other viewing experience. We spend another night in the famous Churchill 'domes.' The domes were built in conjunction with the Churchill Rocket Range for observing the Aurora Borealis during atmospheric testing. The Rocket Range was constructed in Churchill in 1957 for the purpose of launching sounding rockets carrying experimental payloads into the upper atmosphere. Over 3500 rockets were launched prior to the Range's closing in 1985. The Churchill Domes facility provide a warm, comfortable venue in which to watch the night skies. Join us on this remarkable northern experience!
