Alberta named one of the best places in the world to see northern lights
The northern lights are a dazzling sight, and a new Men’s Journal ranking has listed Alberta as one of the best places in the world to see them.
“Optimal viewing for dark skies and northern lights in the sprawling Canadian oasis of northern Alberta is September through mid-May,” the journal touted, adding that the province is home to the world’s largest Dark Sky Preserves in the world, located in Wood Buffalo and Jasper National Park.
