Northern Lights must be some of the most amazing things to ever be seen.

It's on my bucket list!

I dream of seeing this in person some day.
Amazing what causes that effect. If we were on another planet unlike Earth, we would be fried. Actually, beyond fried. Gone instantly.

Great photo!
I have seen them pulsate and undulate a few times, the most intense show when I was out on Madeleine Island out in Superior for a 2 hours about 12 years ago. We laid on the beach and couldn't believe our eyes, 20 times more intense than either myself or my buddy had ever seen. One of my favorite natural wonders.

Very cool Mark! I have never seen the Aurora Borealis, but I am hoping to when I go on an Alaska cruise next May!

As close to the North Pole as you can. The closer you go, the better the show.
It is due to how the solar flares hit the Earth and the tilt on the globe. Amazing stuff.

Yes, this is correct, the closer to the north pole, the better the effect... however, the most southern report of Aurora Borealis is a little place called El Paso. http://www.astronet.ru/db/xware/msg/1162436 <-- image of the Aurora taken in Texas.
