Southern Lights displays in 2021 set to be best in years


Otago Museum director Ian Griffin captured quite the light show from Hoopers Inlet.
If seeing the Southern Lights is on your bucket list, 2021 is shaping up to be a good year to tick it off, promising brighter displays than we've seen in some time.
Otago Museum director and astronomer Dr Ian Griffin captured a timelapse video of a “rather pretty display” of the Aurora Australis on Saturday night from his favourite viewpoint at isolated Hoopers Inlet on the Otago Peninsula.

Air New Zealand's decision to staff its chartered Southern Lights flight with international crew has raised the eyebrows of staff and a leading epidemiologist.
Tour company Viva Expeditions has chartered a Boeing 787 for the keen aurora hunters as they chase the Southern Lights on March 20.
The flight is being headed by Otago's Dr Ian Griffin and will have a team of astrophysicists on board.
It is timed to coincide with the autumnal equinox, and will bring aspiring astro-tourists to the lights, flying south to almost within the Antarctic circle.
