2013 should offer many opportunities for people at northern latitudes to see the Northern Lights. According to Ali McLean at The Aurora Zone:

Right now, there’s huge excitement among those of us who hunt for the aurora borealis, also called the northern lights. The lights are historically at their most frequent and spectacular when the sun reaches the peak of its 11-year cycle of activity. This peak is known as Solar Maximum, and NASA is predicting it for the autumn of 2013.

Bottom line: Watch this beautiful time-lapse video of the Northern Lights as seen from Iceland. At the end, a man proposes to his sweetheart by aurora light.
