Live Webcams in Churchill, Manitoba

Churchill, a small town on the western shore of Hudson Bay in northern Manitoba, Canada, is the place people cross the world to see three animals and one sky, and the live webcams in Churchill are trained on the sky: the northern lights over the tundra, from the edge of a town that cannot be reached by road. Watching it live is a lottery worth entering. Churchill keeps Central Time, UTC−6, UTC−5 in summer, so the dark hours run roughly from 01:00 to 12:00 UTC in midwinter, and the aurora tends to be strongest before local midnight. The town sits at 58 degrees north, directly under the auroral oval, which is why locals claim the lights on some 300 nights a year. February and March give the clearest skies; October and November belong to the polar bears, July and August to the belugas.
