The aurora borealis is now available to livestream straight into your living room, courtesy of a webcam situated in the small town of Churchill, in Manitoba, Canada, and in our humble opinion, this magical news is just the kind of coronavirus antidote we all need. Along with being a welcome distraction from working from home, it’s also the perfect way to brighten up your quarantine.

The livestream comes courtesy of the Explore organisation, which hosts a range of different nature webcams from around the world. They also stream the northern lights display live on YouTube, which allows you to skip back if nothing particularly interesting is happening.

Nature’s most spectacular light show joins a host of other livestream and virtual travel alternatives, like virtual national park tours, livestreaming art exhibits, virtual tours of museums and cultural sites, and livestream orchestral performances, which are popping up all over the world in an attempt to help us all navigate the coronavirus pandemic without losing our sense of wonder (or wanderlust.)

The northern lights are normally reserved for a few lucky high latitude locals in Northern Iceland, Finland, Norway, Greenland, Alaska and some northern parts of Canada.

But we reckon that this living room view – which comes complete with comfy couch cushions, hot and cold running quarantinis, and zero judgement if you don’t feel like wearing pants – might just be the best one ever.

And in a stroke of luck, the best time to view the phenomenon is during the northern hemisphere’s late Winter and early Spring. Which just happens to be right now.
