And can they be seen from a phonebooth? That would be an epic shot to be sure. Peering at the northern lights from inside a phonebooth.

Northern lights are best in the dead of winter. Here is a great place to see them. It's already too light now though. It's pretty much just luck, in winter you can see some northern lights most nights but really you want to wait until the KP rating is >4 for a real show.
