Aurora Australis

One of the best things to do in Invercargill is to see the Aurora Australis, a sensational light phenomenon otherwise known as the Southern Lights. Invercargill, like many places in this part of the country, have incredibly clear skies with little or light pollution to speak of. This makes it a perfect place to see the effect of the solar winds hitting the Earth’s magnetic field. Between April – September is usually the best time of year to see this breathtaking light show.
