Description
Descriptions of eleven aurorae observed in the Canary Islands during the
period 1770 - 2010 have been found in different documents. Most of them
are coincident with periods of strong solar activity, with the
geomagnetic latitude playing a minor role. Coronal mass ejections are
the most probable solar source of these low-latitude events. The absence
of low-latitude aurorae is verified in our sample during the Dalton
Minimum and the first half of the twentieth century.
