Northern Lights-seen them live?

[shootingstar]

Yes! We saw them from a plane at 30,000 feet over Newfoundland on the way from Seattle to London in late December. About ten years ago, I think. An amazing sight. Shootingstar, did you know that there's a Center for the Study of Northern Lights in Churchill, Manitoba? AND you can visit there! http://www.churchillscience.ca/about...ern-lights.cfm

I am so tempted. I would love to go there. Explore.org has a live cam there and I've watched the Northern Lights on that live cam all winter.

Ooh...and we saw several moose last year at Glacier Park. The hike to Bullhead Lake there passes several smaller lakes much frequented by moose. Glacier Park is not that far away from you, shootingstar. That's another thing you could look into. Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada borders Glacier Park. Glacier Park is the place of my heart and the most spectacular place I've ever been.

OK. I'll stop babbling now.

Lucky you, salsabike. Thanks for the link webcam. http://explore.org/live-cams/player/northern-lights-cam which during the day might be polar bears. People go there, to see polar bears too.

The University of Alberta in Edmonton, has a website AuroraWatch that tends to focus on predictions, photos on Alberta sightings.
Have been to Waterton Lakes National Park and Glacier Park....we hiked across the Canada-US border. Pics and our experience here.

Moose in Banff National Park are getting less because of disease. This park is 130 km. north of us. But they do hang out elsewhere. When we vacationed in New Hampshire, we tried to see moose in a road stretch that was marked all over with moose crossing sign warnings. Nope.

A lost moose did show up in a major shopping mall parking lot that's busy with LRT commuting folks last year. Mid-town in our city (1+ million people). Not suburbs. It was captured and taken away safely.

Ok, sometimes I think it was a dream, but it probably did happen: About 15 years ago, while on national train route, about 20 km. outside of Montreal, passengers, including us, were astonished to see a moose nearly frozen with fear in a cloverleaf highway hub... It was SUCH a weird sighting that even I can't quite believe my own memory now.
