I'm sure this has been discussed here before, but I wasn't here.
So back in 2012 these poor scientists went to the south "pole" wanting to get a look at the southern lights, but they met with disappointment.
"However, we were to be disappointed. Our predecessors here, last year’s winterers, saw nothing of the fabled lights and gave well-reasoned scientific arguments as to why we wouldn’t see them either. Even Dave, our resident Polar veteran, had only glimpsed the lights once from Rothera in his many years of coming back here."https://abinantarctica.wordpress.com/2012/09/16/the-southern-lights/So it seems that you can go to the north and see the northern lights every single year, year after year, with a 100% chance of seeing them. . . But people who are "resident Polar veterans" of Antarctica go to the south year after year, and
never see the southern lights.
By the way, I was in Vermont a few years ago and saw the Northern Lights from there... But these scientists on Adelaide Island never get a glimpse?
What I get from this is...
Northern Lights: Viewable every year by millions of people.
Southern Lights: Never even seen by "resident Polar veterans" returning there year after year.
To add, there are accounts throughout history of the northern lights. Their story is told in novels, songs, poems. . .
Where are the southern lights in history's account? It seems the southern lights only exist in 21st century pictures and videos, but not on the physical earth.
