as apposed to what?
do you mean they only occur in the sub-polar regions?- because the southern hemi-sphere is everything below the equator, and the northern hemi-sphere is everything above it.

its impossible to see it from here because Aurora(s) occur only on the Northern and Southern Hemisphere (that’s what I know) ![]()

I would love to be able to see them! I live in southwestern Canada and we don’t get them anywhere around here, but I dream of going North someday just to see them. Been looking into where and when the best places are. It must be amazing.

is there sound when it occurs? when u say anywhere in the northern hemisphere, is there a best part to see them like on a mountain, or open field or just anywhere? any best months?

Well they appear all over polar circle ara eany way so it depend of the angle that solarwind hits the earth’s magnetic field so they maid appear in over Europe and not in Canada and then again they maid appear over the Canada but not over the North Europe. But eany way the will appear over the polar circle. And eany way when they show up they are just magnificentshow. And i have seen them only 2 times in my lifetime but the appear mor ofthen than that i just have been in Lapland on that time…

I believe northern canada is one of the best places to see them

No it isn´t, it´s just light phenomenon. One Finnish legend says that there is fox in north that whip its tail on snow, and the sparks light the sky. Heretics says it´s about the magnetisism …but I believe in that fox ;-D
