How commonly can you see Aurora Borealis with the naked eye on Vancouver Island?

+2
−1

This r/auroraporn post is titled Atlin Lake, British Columbia.

This post never stipulates the locality, and merely says "Vancouver Island".

  1. Is it usual to see aurora borealis with the naked eye in Vancouver Island?

  2. How far north must you travel to do so?

Vancouver island is fairly large, and extends from about 48°N to 51°N. I wouldn't say that auroras are common at these latitudes, but they will be visible occasionally.

A photograph of an aurora from Vancouver island is certainly plausible without any additional information.

Whoever downvoted this, please explain what you think is wrong. I looked it over, and as far as I can tell, this is correct. It is agrees with the other answer, which also seems correct. Silent downvotes do this site a disservice.
