| Aurora - 106 sec
A higher resolution version of this clip is available at www.antarcticimages.com
Time-lapse footage of the Aurora Australis, or Southern Lights.
This is the Southern Hemisphere equivalent of the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights.
Filmed during the Antarctic winter in the general vicinity of McMurdo Station and Scott Base, where the sun is below the horizon for 4 months of the year.
Most of the individual clips here were each taken over about a 10 minute period to give you an idea of how much they were moving in real time.
Have a look at my time-lapse clip "A Year on Ice" for more Antarctic footage which includes other aurora clips in the winter section.
The specific music used is by Danny Elfman from the Black Beauty soundtrack, the track is called "Memories"... available at most music retailers.

| | Antarctica Supply Ship Offload Time-Lapse - 190 sec
The annual supply ship the American Tern being unloaded at McMurdo Station, Antarctica.
Time-lapse footage taken over 3 days of continuous sunlight towards the end of summer. This is the only time of year the ice is thin enough to get ships in.
In the background the Krasen, a Russian ice-breaker can be seen working a channel in the 2 meter thick ice to keep it from freezing up, so the Tern will be able to leave again.
Every 2.5 seconds of film equals 1 hour in real time.

Time-lapse video filmed in Antarctica, in and around McMurdo Station and Scott Base.
Each year the sun is below the horizon for 4 months in the middle of winter, and above the horizon for 4 months in summer. During the couple of months in between we have more-or-less normal days.
Includes shots of auroras and the very rare polar stratospheric nacreous clouds, which form when ozone depleting gases crystallize in the upper atmosphere in the intense cold.
Summer population is about 1200 people, winter about 200.
This is just a small sample of an ongoing project to collect time-lapse imagery of Antarctica. I have taken over 1,000,000 individual photos and worn out a number of cameras that make up the collection of footage I have gathered so far over the last 6 years. Eventually a film will be released, keep an eye on my user page for more info in the future.

For those of you who have been asking about the music I used here, the first piece of music is "Whirl-Y-Reel" by Afro Celt Sound System, the second is "The Grand Finale" from the Edward Scissorhands soundtrack by Danny Elfman. Both are available at most music outlets.
