Auroras only occur in polar regions where a planet's magnetosphere interferes with solar wind. I think we would be taking too many liberties with the story if we inserted ideas on the location of Echo Base.
Plus, it's an unnecessary embellishment in my opinion. :)
I think it's unnecessary too. Not to mention Ady has more than enough on his plate already :)
