The only statement that makes sense as to which one describes an effect of changes in Earth's magnetic field is the first one - Southern lights are seen at high altitude places like Alaska.

Normally, Southern lights are seen around the South Pole, which means that it is quite odd for them to be seen in Alaska, which is near the North Pole.
