You've not seen the southern lights?

You're welcome here to see the northern ones, although you'd have better luck further north or in Scandinavia Smile

Here's a link to some Aurora cams... apparently they're off just now because of the long summer light but it'll start being darker quite soon. Who knows what you'll see if you check in on the right day *smiles*

*squeeee*

Wouldn't mind NZ though too, Rock said he saw the southern lights from there... and I've always fancied a trip to Antarctica (you know, before it's all melted hehe). Are they often visible from S. America, not sure about angles and such...
