I love this image of my son photographing the Aurora Borealis from the airplane window as we fly home from Illinois. Ironically, I tried to see the Northern Lights in Iceland last year, spending two very cold nights in a freezing field without success. Plane viewing is definitely the way to go.
@geekmomprojects Back when I was younger I used to go up to Northern MN for Aurora watching. I got to the point where I could look at the instruments on the SOHO observatory, and beeline north an hour or so from Minneapolis when they were favorable. I got to see Aurora often. As in at least once a week. Some displays were weak and spotty, but others were strong. The Aurora forecasts came out of some of the data gathered.
