If you're ever in Manitoba, take the train ride up to Churchill. Tundra, Hudson Bay, Polar Bears, and our Northern Lights research station. It's one hell of a show.

I once was able to see the aurora from Missouri! I do live quite far from a city so the sky is extra dark...

Looking forward to them paving the road to Cittagazze.

I went to Moose Factory when I was young. It was summer, so the sky did not darken enough to see the northern lights, at least while I was able to stay awake.

I have regretted that since.
