About Yellowknife
Yellowknife, Northwest Territories is a bold and captivating city situated on the northern shore of Great Slave Lake — the deepest lake in North America — in the heart of the Northwest Territories, approximately 1,500 kilometres north of Edmonton, and serves as the capital and largest city of the Northwest Territories, a vast and largely wilderness jurisdiction covering over 1.3 million square kilometres of boreal forest, tundra, lakes, and rivers that together form one of the last great unspoiled wilderness frontiers on earth.
Yellowknife owes its existence to gold, having grown from a prospectors' camp following major gold discoveries in the 1930s into a permanent city whose mining heritage — first gold, later diamonds, with the Northwest Territories emerging as one of the world's most significant diamond-producing regions in the 1990s — has given it a frontier energy, a multicultural workforce drawn from across Canada and the world, and a proud tradition of resourcefulness and northern self-reliance that permeates every aspect of city life.
The city is one of the premier destinations in the world for aurora borealis viewing, sitting directly beneath the auroral oval with an exceptional combination of northern latitude, low light pollution, and a remarkably high number of clear nights that make Yellowknife arguably the most reliable aurora viewing destination in North America, drawing thousands of visitors — particularly from Japan and South Korea — each winter to witness the northern lights reflected in the frozen surface of Great Slave Lake in scenes of transcendent and unforgettable beauty.
Top attractions include the Prince of Wales Northern Heritage Centre, an outstanding museum exploring the natural and cultural history of the Northwest Territories and the rich Dene and Métis heritage of the region, the fascinating Old Town neighbourhood with its historic float plane base and colourful houseboats, the Yellowknife Ski Club, the stunning Cameron Falls just outside the city, and extraordinary access to the wilderness of Nahanni National Park Reserve — a UNESCO World Heritage Site of exceptional natural grandeur — and the vast Mackenzie River system.
With its remarkable diamond and gold mining legacy, world-class aurora viewing, profound Indigenous heritage, and a frontier spirit forged in one of the most dramatic wilderness settings on the planet, Yellowknife is a northern Canadian capital of extraordinary character and appeal.
