Seeing the auroras online isn't as satisfying as being there but I found some beautiful places on earth while searching for aurora cameras. This is Queenstown, New Zealand:

Were you sending us on a wild
Canadian goose chase last night?
You instructed us to search (and go north) young man. Am_I_notrite?
Last time I checked, New Zealand
is NOT NORTH,
unless we might happen to go so far north that we end up going south.
Is it really "north" this time? or are "we"
(could be royal?) going to get rug pulled,
within our potential viewing pleasures again?
Oops! Good points.
There are mostly symmetrical auroral ovals of about 3000km in diameter over both of our magnetic poles during times of the more gentle and constant solar winds but these expand toward the equator when the sun decides to hurl plasma clouds and frozen flux magnetic fields at us from various angles. I do have a northern hemisphere bias and I apologize for that but there are several reasons for this:
1) I live there
2) The NOAA is an americentric organization and they have most of the data I need for keeping track of potential auroras in my area.
3) If the sun is particularly energetic and causes the auroral ovals to expand so as to be visible as far as both 40°N and 40°S latitudes, there are relatively few people to rally in the space between the Antarctic and 40°S latititude. Tasmania, New Zealand, southern Chile/Argentina (Patagonia) and the Falkland Islands (population ~3000... penguins!)
