It might be a bit chilly in this winter wonderland but don’t expect the locals to be hibernating. In fact, Whitehorse may be small but it has an incredibly lively community. Whether you are looking to take part in adrenaline-pumping activities or spend your evenings chasing the northern lights, Whitehorse has something for you.   Aurora Hunting     One of the biggest draws to the north is, of course, the infamous northern lights.
