I remember flying YYZ to LHR in the winter over Iceland and witnessed a spectacular Northern Lights show. The green was remarkable. At points they almost looked like pipes of green light.The passenger next to me was a retired cargo pilot and he said he'd witnessed them many times but that was one of the most amazing he had seen.
