Witnessing the northern lights dance across the sky is a once-in-a-lifetime， bucket-list experience. The magical aurora borealis can be elusive1， but in the Yukon， when the forecast calls for a clear， cloudless sky， the opportunity to see this incredible display arises.

亲眼看到北极光在天空中翩跹起舞，是人生难得一遇、值得列入愿望清单的体验。神奇的北极光可能难以捉摸，但在育空，当天气预报显示天空晴朗无云时，就有机会看到这种令人叹为观止的景象。

Canada’s Land of the Midnight Sun2 offers the best viewing opportunities， with dark skies and minimal light pollution through the winter months. And right now， the auroras are even more vibrant and frequent due to the solar maximum， a natural peak in solar activity that occurs only once every 11 years.

加拿大的“午夜太阳国”提供了绝佳的观赏机会，因为黑暗的天空和极少的光污染贯穿冬季月份。而现在，正值太阳极大期（每11年才出现一次的太阳活动自然高峰期），极光变得更加鲜艳和频繁。

But there’s much more to this beautiful northern territory than its spectacular skies. With a rich art and culture scene， thrilling outdoor activities， stunning scenery and charming communities， the Yukon is the ultimate well-rounded destination to begin your quest to see this astonishing natural phenomenon.

不过这片美丽的北方地区拥有的不只是壮观的天空。浓厚的文化艺术氛围、刺激的户外活动、令人惊叹的风景和富有魅力的社区，使育空成为你开启极光奇观探索之旅的综合性终极目的地。
