Antarctica Time Lapse: A Year on Ice



Above is a great time-lapse video taken over the course of a year in Antarctica. Some of the photographers comments are below:

"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."

You can see more of the photographer's work at his website here, including a gallery of antarctic wildlife.

Below is another video of his specific to Aurora Australis (the Southern Lights):
