Yeah but do they get stronger/clearer/more bootiful the further north ? I'd guess/hope so. Saw them from Iceland ocne but that was a sad stringy white thing (no not a cloud!) and overall a bit of a disappointment, as was the black icelandic vodka and whale blubber

I've seen many northern lights. Check this out: http://virtual.finland.fi/stream/aurora.ram it's from Scandinavia but similar to what you see up north though for some reason the ones in the video are all green... artistic licence? or maybe they are all green in Scandinavia -- Wannabe? Do you know?

Just to bore you with some Physical Chemistry...
![EEK!](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/eek.gif)
Green and red are caused by excitation of electrons in oxygen in the ionosphere and blue and crimson by excitation of electrons in Nitrogen.
The colour produced is dependent on what height the oxygen/nitrogen are in the ionosphere when cosmic radiation from the Sun hits them. This promotes electrons to higher energy orbitals within the atom. The electron only has enough energy to exist in this higher energy orbital for a short time and returns to a lower energy state. The energy stored in the electron is released as light characteristic for that particular element (as each have different electronic configurations).
In Sweden, perhaps owing to the tilt of the Earth, the incident cosmic radiation must penetrate the ionosphere more deeply and produces more green for oxygen and less red.
Are you still awake?

But the movment of the magnetic North Pole is suppposed to change all that.
The point actually moves around about 85km a DAY!
Over the year it moves approx 40km
