Thanks to Gavin from New Zealand for this link. What we call The Northern Lights also appear in the southern hemisphere, and are called Aurora Australis.

Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis are two sisters with a colorful history of pleasing photographers. They also share the same first name. And yet they have always kept their distance from each other. That’s because they consider themselves to be polar opposites.

‘Polar opposites’. I enjoyed that. 🙂

They are not branded as ‘Southern Lights’ down here but just ‘the Aurora’.
They have seasonal flights on an Air NZ Dreamliner leaving Christchurch (where I live & where the USA Antarctic planes leave from) and it flies down south and passengers all take turns at the window seats. Guaranteed viewing.
I have never seen the lights myself but they are visible most places down here. Even on summer nights you see that greeny sunset up to 11pm.

One day I hope to see these! They happen in Alaska which is closer to me, but Finland is where I want to se them!

They actually appear in some form 20 miles north of where I live. But I have yet to be up on the coast at the right time. Finland might be a better option.

These lights are stunning. If I could choose one more sight to see in my lifetime, I think it would be the aurora. Even a glimmer would be cool!

I confess I would love to see them. But it might take more than one trip, as there is never a guarantee that they will appear.

I did consider it once, a trip to Norway. But there was no guarantee they would appear, so I went to Leningrad instead. 🙂

I remember when they were visible off the Norfolk coast, and shown on the news programme ‘Look East’. Not as grand as these but still an impressive ‘glow’.

They certainly are amazing photos, Pete. We [not including me, personally, unfortunately] can occasionally see the Northern Lights in & around Whitby, which is quite a long way south. Cheers, Jon.

My cousin went on a very expensive trip to Norway to see them. Then they didn’t appear! There can never be any guarantee of seeing them of course.
