Yes, depending on the strength of the Aurora, it can also be seen from the southern parts of Australia, New Zealand, Africa, South America and the Falkland Islands (the Malvinas).

Northern lights and southern lights are other names for what phhenomenon?
Aurora australis for Southern, Aurora Borealis for Northern
Where can you see southern lights?
ANSWER:Also called aurora australis, it can be seen from the southern parts of Australia & New Zealand and also from Antartica. It is more probable to see aurora australis from Tasmania, rather then any other state in Australia.
When can you see the Aurora Australis?
There isn't really a schedule of auroras; they happen when a stream of charged particles from the Sun interact with the Earth's magnetic field. Watch the website at spaceweather.com (see the link below) and look for "coronal mass ejections"; bright auroras often follow about 2 days later. But they sometimes are visible without any warning, because the Sun is CONSTANTLY sending out masses of charged particles. Both aurorae occur around the polar regions. The Aurora Australis appears around Antarctica and the Aurora Borealis appears around the Arctic. The Aurora Australis is only visible from the southern latitudes and has never been seen north of the 30 degree line of latitude. The aurora is associated with solar wind activity and is most prevalent at the peak of the eleven year sun spot cycles, and the three years afterwards. The best places to see an Aurora Australis in the Australasia region would be Tasmania or New Zealand, away from cities and other sources of artificial light pollution.
When do the norther lights appear?
Yes. In the skies above the north pole they are known as aurora borealis and over the south pole the southern lights are known as aurora australis.
What is the other name for the northern lights?
aurora borealis
Northern lights and southern lights are other names for what phhenomenon?
Aurora australis for Southern, Aurora Borealis for Northern
What is the difference between a Aurora borealis and a Aurora australis?
The Aurora Borealis is in the northen hemisphere at the north pole. However the Aurora Australis is in the southern hemisphere at the south pole. That is the only difference in them; they are both formed in the same way. They are both polar lights. One is the Aurora Borealis, the northern lights and the Aurora Australis, the southern lights. They are on the different poles on the earth, other than that, they are the same. Borealis is near the North Pole. Australis is near the South pole. The Aurora Borealis is at the north magnetic pole: the Aurora Australis is at the south magnetic pole. That's the only difference. They are both really the same thing but are visible from different places in the world. The aurora borealis can be seen in Northern England and in Scotland sometime, normally in summer and spring. The aurora austalis can be seen from places like Australia and New Zealand. Another difference is that the aurora borealis are brighter that the aurora austalis

In what direction is Argentina from Antarctica?
Argentina is north of Antarctica, as is every other country on earth.
How much percent does Australia now own of antarctica?
Australia claims a slice of Antarctica, but does not own it. There are other claims, and no country with claims owns any part of Antarctica.
What is the largest state in Antarctica?
There are no countries in Antarctica. Antarctica does not have any real countries, some countries on other continents have territory that they have laid claim to there, but there are no real countries on Antarctica, it is just a continent that is basically uninhabited other than research stations, and penguins.There are no countries in Antarctica
What share of antarctica does Australia have?
Australia claims part of Antarctica, but owns none of it, nor does any other country with territorial claims on the continent.
Which continents are not connected to other continents?
Neither Australia nor Antarctica are connected to any other continent or country.
Does Australia own some of antarctica?
No, no nation owns any part of Antarctica. Several nations have territorial claims on the continent -- not USA, however -- some of which overlap each other. The Antarctic Treaty (1960) holds all claims in abeyance and forbids any other future claims.
Which South American countries share control of Antarctica?
Several South American countries claim portions of Antarctica, but no country controls the continent, including other countries in the world that also claim portions of Antarctica.
What country from Antarctica do penguins come from?
Penguins are aquatic birds and use the Antarctic continent -- and other lands: New Zealand and Africa -- for breeding purposes. There are no countries in Antarctica.
