There are few spots are perfect for enjoying the Northern Lights as Norway (near the North Cape), and Reykjavik, Iceland. But Alaska, Northern Scandinavia and Greenland are also great places for aurora-seekers due to clear sky and brightness of the light!

The Aurora Borealis are generally visible in polar and fairly high latitude regions; Scandinavia, northern Canada, Iceland; areas like that. But it depends on the seasons, both on the Earth and on the Sun. During periods of high solar activity, the auroras are sometimes visible down to mid-latitudes; the northern US, even parts of the central US like Nebraska and Wisconsin.

In the late 1850's, there were a series of enormous solar storms; the most intense was called the Carrington Event, named for the scientist who observed the solar flare. Auroras were visible throughout the United States, and even as far south as Cuba!

A website called spaceweather.com has daily reports of solar activity, and some very lovely galleries of aurora photos. It's definitely worth a look!
