Yellowknife is legit cold.
Must do
1) You need to hire a tour to take you to see the lights. Don't just go and drive hoping to see it.
2) Must rent proper clothing; you need to rent proper gather insulated boots + crazy fleece pants / jackets specific for arctic. You can't just wear the cheap Old Navy jackets. This is where Canada Goose comes in. Out of 250 people, there were only 2 people who didn't rent. Your regular mittens are useless.
Some mainland china girls thought a canada goose jacket is all you need; you can clearly see their toes and boots completely useless.
Guy from Hong Kong thought just wearing timberlands + socks are good; game over. He was stuck inside the teepee fire trying to dry his toes the 3 hours he was there.
3) Tripod + manual mode is a must. Selfie sticks + cell phone are dead after 15 minutes.
4) As prolepsis said, taking out your battery to warm it up is the only way. The only issue I had is the issues with the quick release for the tripod. Pain in the ass.

I did the dog sled + snowmobile. If you have never done the snowmobile, it's ok. Dog sled was also brief; the most important thing is for ice fishing. This one I didn't do, but I was told you just watch people fish; they pre-lure the fish hours before and by the time you go and check it out, they will pull up the line. Sometimes there's 2, sometimes the line has 20 of them.

Lastly, its all luck, I am not a photographer and I wasn't able to get the best pictures, btu I was super super lucky to be able to see it the 1st night; second night. ZERO luck.

PS: tax is only 5% so if you want to buy Canada Goose (non black label) / diamonds, its the way to do it here.
