The word "borealis" comes from the word for "northern", so technically, no; there are no "aurora borealis" in Antarctica.

However, Antarctica does experience the similar phenomenon called "aurora australis", or "southern lights". Same thing; different name.

When was the last aurora borealis?

The Aurora Borealis is not something like a total eclipse of the sun - that happens once in a handful of years. The auroras happen nightly , it just depends on how far North you are. If you live in Chicago, it's a very rare night you would see the Aurora. If you live in northern Finland, it's a rare night you wouldn't see it.
