Antarctica Time lapse: A Year on Ice


Via: Flixya

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 nacreous clouds. Summer population is about 1200 people, winter about 200. The first piece of music is by Afro Celt Sound System, the second is from the Edward Scissorhands soundtrack by Danny Elfman.
