Going into space always exposes you to ionizing radiation.

In one week on ISS they get as much radiation as someone gets in a year on the ground.

During solar storms this radiation does increase, but not by a huge amount.  It can double or triple.

Since it's directed to the poles because of the magnetic field, wouldn't it also be much higher *at* the poles? So if you were right inside the aurora like OP asked, wouldn't that be a lot more radiation than astronauts (on the ISS in an equatorial orbit) experience during a solar storm?
