What a treat @Kobe, & you didn't even have to get up! Thanks for sharing that with us.Awesome that you got to see them!! No photos???? Bummer! To think that I live inMN and have traveled north to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area many times and never have been fortunate to see them! Now I'm planning on going to Iceland next month in hopes of having better luck
And Maryland is in fact South of Northern Spain ...As dbier says it's all relative. Here is an article from a couple of weeks ago stating that the Aurora Borealis could possibly viewed as far south in the state of Maryland.
Sorry to post photos just now. Still getting my bearings on the Camino.Awesome that you got to see them!! No photos???? Bummer!

You will have good luck in Iceland. You may have to set your alarm for the middle of the night, however!Awesome that you got to see them!! No photos???? Bummer!

Haha! I was texting my husband at the time wingeing about being 65yo and being in the nosebleed bunk. Once I looked out the window I realized that it all was worth it!What a treat @Kobe, & you didn't even have to get up! Thanks for sharing that with us.
I hope your plan works out @Peregrina 2013. I've tried Iceland, Arctic Canada & Alaska with nil success.
I did however see them while onboard Hurtigruten in northern Norway which I'm forever thankful for.
I'm lucky enough to have 'bookends' having also seen the Aurora Australis or Southern Lights (no, not the ship for any Aussie readers!) in Antarctica.
They can be viewed occasionally here in Tassie & even southern parts of the mainland if conditions are right.
Thank you Kobe! I've been waiting for years to do this, and whenever we went up north - here in MN, I always made it a point to get up in the middle of the night and walk outside to see if I'd ever be so lucky, but I was rewarded mostly with a beautiful starry nightYou will have good luck in Iceland. You may have to set your alarm for the middle of the night, however!

Well, hopefully next month I'll fulfill that lifetime dream! But if Iceland doesn't work I might have to go to Hurtigruten;-) I will hunt them down for the rest of my life until I see themWhat a treat @Kobe, & you didn't even have to get up! Thanks for sharing that with us.

What station were you at? I have seen them a bunch at McMurdo over the years.What a treat @Kobe, & you didn't even have to get up! Thanks for sharing that with us.

I can imagine the stories you could tell!What station were you at? I have seen them a bunch at McMurdo over the years.
I saw the Aurora Australis from the back yard of the house I was renting in Old Road, Franklin, Tasmania. Can't remember the year exactly, but it would have been between August 2004 and March 2006.What a treat @Kobe, & you didn't even have to get up! Thanks for sharing that with us.
