| Description |
Like its more familiar counterpart (the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights), the Aurora Australis is caused by the solar wind passing through the upper atmosphere. But the Aurora Australis is much less frequently observed because so few people are in Antarctica during the austral winter. The United States maintains three research stations in Antarctica. The National Science Foundation's U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP) operates them all.
