Number 32 — See the Aurora Borealis

This one, not a toughy. I've lived in Alaska for a combined 10 years at this point and although not a frequent sighting, it's there. My first time however being on a road trip while moving from Washington state to Alaska through Canada. One night in the depths of the Yukon while roasting marsh mallows over an open fire we heard the distinct 'singing' of the Northern Lights. I looked up around me to see the most stunning display I've seen to date full of shades of green and blue with streaks of red, simply amazing.

Accomplished: August 2006

I also live in Alaska, although it has basically been for my whole life. It can be a great place to see the northern lights, and they are one of the most beautiful sights you will ever see. Unfortunately, I have never got to hear them "sing".
