It's like Aurora Borealis, but near the south pole.

Australis means Southern. That's how Australia got it's name. Southern land.

The Southern Lights are known as Aurora Australis just as the Northern Lights are known as Aurora Borealis.

This picture though..... raises questions. The colour to start with... the location of the milkyway in the sky. Everything just looks wrong. Aside from that nice image, whatever it is.
