Why does Antarctica get northern lights?
Antarctica does not get the "Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis)", being at the South Pole, it gets the "Southern Lights" or the Aurora Australis. The source of both the Aurora Australis and Aurora Borealis is the sun. A stream of particles known as the "Solar Wind" spills around the edges of the Earth's magnetic sphere and, when it collides with gases in the ionosphere, the particles glow very spectacularly.
What is the name coloured light seen in the night sky near the north pole?

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
Who discovered aurora borealis?
There has been much debate about who discovered the auroras, but ancient Chinese and Greek people have been studying these natural wonders for years, and the ancient Eskimos and Scandinavians have been known to reference them as early as 700 AD. The person that actually brought everyone's attention to the auroras was Benjamin Franklin, even though a French astronomer Pierre Gassedni was credited for given the name of the aurora borealis (the Roman goddess of dawn, Aurora, and the Greek name for north wind, Boreas) in 1612.
What is the Aurora called in the south?
In the southern hemisphere, the Aurora is called the Aurora Australis, or the Southern Lights. These are similar to the Aurora Borealis in the northern hemisphere and are caused by solar particles interacting with the Earth's magnetic field.
