🤓Have you wondered what causes the different colours of northern lights?
The different colours of the northern lights are caused by collisions between electrons entering the earth's atmosphere and gaseous particles. The colours depend on which gas is involved and how high in the ionosphere the reaction takes place.

Oxygen causes:
💚Green lights at lower altitudes (60 miles above the earth)
❤️Red lights at higher altitudes (200 miles).

Nitrogen particles causes:
💙Blue
💜Purplish-red lights

This February and March, witness the aurora borealis in one of the best places on Earth—Churchill, Manitoba. Don't miss your chance to experience nature's most breathtaking light show!

We often get asked why winter is considered the best time of year for viewing the northern lights in Churchill, and the answer is simple: it's cold!

Colder temperatures mean that the Hudson Bay and other sources of moisture around Churchill are frozen over, reducing condensation and, as a result, increasing the odds of nights with clear skies. Clear skies are essential for northern lights viewing, and that's why we run our northern lights adventures in the winter.

If you're looking for a last-minute adventure this February and March, we still have some spaces left on our 2024 northern lights trips!

Snowshoeing in Churchill offers a thrilling opportunity for photography amidst pristine wilderness.

Strapping on your snowshoes, you'll traverse a landscape painted in hues of white, with occasional bursts of colour from shrubs and bright coloured lichen. The soft, diffused light creates a serene atmosphere, ideal for capturing stunning compositions.

If you like photography be sure to check out our Photo Adventure trips!

🙌Hands up if you would like to spend an evening at Thandelthur Lounge.

Heated and stocked with snacks and beverages, Thandelthur Lounge is the perfect place to hang out and watch through the panoramic windows and skylight for the northern lights to make their appearance. Once the lights come out, it is time to bundle up and head outside to watch them and you can even enjoy the lights from the raised viewing platform.

This photo was taken by Mike Gere, the host of our Thandelthur Lounge this season. While at Thanadelthur Lounge, guests can learn first hand from Mike about his astro photography experience and how he has captured some of his epic shots.

If you guessed Canada Jay, also known as Gray Jays or Whiskey Jacks on yesterday's post, you are right! Here are some of our favorite fun facts about Canada Jays:

1) They are the National bird of Canada.

2) Non-migratory: Unlike many other bird species, Canada Jays do not migrate. They have developed physiological and behavioral adaptations to survive the harsh winters of their northern habitats, such as in Churchill, Manitoba.

3) Fearless and curious: These birds are known for their boldness around humans. They often approach hikers and campers, hoping for handouts or to scavenge for food. Many frequent our friends at Wapusk Adventures dog yard where these photos were taken, and sometimes they land on guests.

4) Social birds: Canada Jays are highly social and often seen in family groups. They maintain strong pair bonds and family ties throughout their lives.

5) Distinctive call: Their call is a unique combination of whistles, croaks, and clicks. They are known to imitate the calls of other birds, as well as sounds such as squirrels and even chainsaws.

Did you know that 24km east of Churchill is the former Rocket Research Range?🚀
Churchill was a strategic location near the magnetic pole, in an area of frequent northern lights activity and close to established supply routes. ✨
The Black Brant rocket, designed and built in Canada, was first launched from Churchill in 1959. 🇨🇦

🙌 Hands up if you want to join us beneath the auroal oval this winter.

Churchill, Manitobas location directly beneath the aurora oval makes it a prime spot for watching the northern lights dance across the night sky.

The aurora oval is a ring-shaped belt about 4,000 km (2,500 miles) in diameter near the magnetic poles of the Earth. Because this belt is asymmetric and expands and contracts somewhat, the area where the auroras can be viewed does change.

Warning if you come to Churchill on a northern lights trip with us the dogs might steal your heart 💙.

On any of our northern lights adventures you will have the chance to meet the team of canine athletes at Wapusk Adventures and learn all about dog sledding.

Meet Photo Specialist Guide Ward Cameron! 📸 When he’s not in Churchill capturing polar bears or northern lights with guests, you’ll likely find him exploring the Canadian Rockies. As a Photo Specialist Guide, Ward excels at helping guests create stunning photos of their Churchill adventures—memories that will last a lifetime.

The bears have been dancing and putting on a show for our guests. While polar bears in the Western Hudson Bay population (Churchill’s bears) are typically solitary for most of their lives, they may engage in sparring with each other during the autumn months as they wait for the sea ice to form. However, once the sea ice arrives, any sparring that occurs will not be so friendly, as males compete for breeding opportunities. Everyday out on the tundra is unique and you never know what you might see! Learn more about polar bears by visiting our friends Polar Bears International 📸: Alex Cupeiro
