    My family lives in Greenland and I'd move there ... they live on an small island up there.

    Greenland small? On all the maps I see it's bigger than all of South America.

    What? Mercator projection? What's that?

    The photos here reminded me of the first time I saw the Aurora Borealis, as a kid on vacation with family at Yellowstone National Park. We were staying at the Old Faithful Inn, and after dark wandered onto the porch to find a fairly impressive display of the lights in the northern sky. A woman near us pulled out her Instamatic camera (precursor to today's disposables, basically, fixed-focus cheapies) and started snapping flash pictures of the lights.

    My parents did a good job of not laughing until she went back inside...

    Newfoundland isn't even shown on the map.

    Wow. Newfoundland was wiped off the map by the northern lights. Amazing.
