Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights)

Also known as the northern lights. Many ethnics such as Inuits ("Eskimo" is considered pejorative to Canadian Inuits) worship the northern lights to be their deceased ancestors dancing with their Goddesses.
Also, auroras are also considered sacred to ancient Rome and was the name of the Roman Goddess of dawn.
Aurora borealis, specifically, is could be seen in the sky of northern hemisphere (mostly on far-north or near the northern magnetic pole: Alaska, Quebec, Yukon, Greenland, Russia).
Aurora australis, on the other hand, is visible only at the far-south, eg. Antartica, South America (Ushuaia, Punta Arenas probably), New Zealand.
For the cause of aurora phenomenon, please refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_(astronomy).

Great video and wonderful song! Do you have a translation? Keep up your good work...I'm trying to decide whether or not to return to Alaska...this certainly pushes me to "Yes!"

[SuhachiChutchen]

What kinda translation you meant there? =P

I've never been more north than Hong Kong before. If I have a chance, I would travel there just to see those lights.

@hammy012 I live in south Sweden and I havn´t seen it either. I really should go to north Sweden during winter to see the northern light. Would be stupid of me not to travel there when I live so close to where northern lights appears.

There was a high level of solar activity; during the ice storm of 97/98 in Montreal when all of the power went out. I could not believe you could see it as south as 45 degrees latitude. I've never seen it again because of the city lights. It was a sight to remember.
