The Northern lights are just something you need to experience. It's kind of like being in a land of magic.As far as my favorite part ... for me it might be learning something completely new to me. I've spent a lot of time working in astronomy, so getting exposed to polar research and researchers has made me a more well rounded scientist who happens to enjoy teaching. I know know a lot more about what we know and don't know about the polar regions and I feel like it is something I can discuss with more confidence.
That and this .... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_waKQr_Srk&feature=g-upl&context=G291222... :-)
Thanks, Tim
