Saw them when I lived in Iceland, but they were pretty faint and it was cold. Wish I were there now.

Wow, Tara, were you in Norway ??? You can see them from Norway, Iceland, Antartica. When I went to Norway, I prayed to see them ..... but they never came. Best time to see them is Nov/Dec I think. And I was there for Thanksgiving. Stared out the skylight all night long thinking I might catch a glimpse of them. Alas, now I need to go back and see if I can catch them the next time around. My brother, who moved to Norway just a few weeks ago has seen them already. Said it is awsome !

Jonny if she gets a good pic of them I will definately post them.
Nancy I'm in New Hampshire so seeing them here was a rare thing, it's got something to do with the flares the sun is putting off right now I believe.
Grant for some reason I have always wanted to see the Northern Lights, I remember the first time I ever really thought about them was after reading Pet Cemetary By Steven King when I was a teenager. Then a couple years ago I watched the movie Frequency with my mom the Northern Lights were a main part of that movie and my mom was saying how amazing it would be to see them in real life and it struck me cause I had felt that way too.......So seeing them tonight was just really amazing to me, don't know why just was.

They are an AWSOME sight to behold! I saw them, when I was in the US Navy (about 634 years ago, I think) stationed on a ship that was operating north of the Artic Circle. I was a Radioman on board the ship, and when they were around, they knocked out all communications. VERY impressive! They reminded me of a long flowing curtain, fluttering in the breeze.
Somewhere, I do have pictures, but I haven't the faintest idea of where to find them! Sorry, folks!

WOW WOW WOW
I have never even heard of this...I always thought Northern Lights had something to do with religion - but WOW - THAT is COOL!
I just spent the last 45 min- hour reading about them... (thanks for the links Taraana and Ueli!) That is sooo cool! I love the pictures.
How lucky are you people that get to see this on a normal basis!! You probably take it for granted.. huh? I would LOVE to see one... just one. I am gonna make Ramon take me someone one day so I can see one! Until then.. i got some nice pics for my computer!!!
THANKS!!

According to the news reports, due to solar flares from the sun this week. The "northern lights" should have been viewable as far south as Texas.
Awesome picks.

Hi Tarann! 
Northern lights are amazing!
I live in Finland and don't mind me saying, but we've got the best Northern Lights!
Don't believe me? Well, I challange each and everyone at ch.com to book a trip to the Finnish Lapland and see them for yourself!
Best wishes & PFdays,
