During a nice solar storm like the one we had in November, 
you need not go that far south or north.  Check out November 8, 2004
or so on www.spaceweather.com .  Here in SE WI, the aurora 
passed the zenith.  Are they that green around here?
Sometimes, but they're generally more muted.  Any sort of
time exposure intensifies the colors your eyes can't see
in dim light.
