Want To See the Northern Lights?

Doug Lansky offers tips on CNN.com: “As with rainbow spotting, there are no guarantees. The key ingredients are a cloudless sky, little or no moon and luck. For the best odds, head near or above the Arctic Circle from October through March.” He also includes this interesting tidbit: “Every 11 or so years, the northern lights are known to appear way below the Arctic Circle. In 2000 they were visible in El Paso, Texas. Wherever you are during the winters of 2011 and 2012, be sure to look up at night.”

Loved reading Doug’s Northern Lights piece. Just got back from Norway’s coastal cruise and saw the light!
