Head to Canada's Yukon Territory for the best seats in the house to the world's most magnificent performance by Mother Nature. Hold your breath as eerie, sulphurous-green sheen ripples, ebbs and flows, before suddenly exploding across the full expanse of the night sky, waving and dancing in celebration.  Read on for three ways to experience the spectacular and mystical aurora borealis.

1. There's nothing more romantic than viewing the northern lights from your private cabin at Sundog Retreat. With kitchen facilities in each cabin and dedicated aurora viewing huts to boot, sip on hot chocolate as you gaze out the large north-facing windows at the light show above. http://sundogretreat.com
2. Escape to your very own Narnia at Tagish Wilderness Lodge. With no road access, you'll arrive by dog sled or ski plane, for an unforgettable aurora experience in a wilderness retreat of utmost comfort. Watch the northern lights dance from the middle of a frozen lake, wrapped in blankets, in front of a crackling campfire, as the howling of wolves creates the perfect sound track to a sensational aurora display. 
   
   
3. Relax in an outdoor Jacuzzi and watch the night sky swirl at the Northern Lights Resort & Spa, just 20 minutes from Whitehorse. This unique winter wonderland is framed by picturesque pine forests and snow-drenched mountains, with cabins created from Douglas fir trees, and unobstructed views of the soaring aurora borealis.
