Anthony > Aurora Australis during a winter afternoon at Black Island, Antarctica.
Anthony > Two Pisten Bully vehicles traversing across the Ice Shelf from Black Island back to McMurdo in foggy conditions with an aurora overhead turning the lighting green. Temperatures were approx -55 C out on the ice shelf this day, so I only managed one or two photos before the camera froze.

Anthony > Antarctica Time Lapse: A Year on Ice

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 130.

This is a demo clip I put together a few years ago to show the potential for time-lapse photography in Antarctica which has been an ongoing project of mine for over 7 years now. I have taken over 1,000,000 individual photos and worn out a number of cameras in the process.

Anthony > Aurora Australis: The Southern Lights

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.

Original footage is 8 or 12.8 megapixel resolution, converted to 1080p
