Auroras and Night Scapes

Shots of the southern stars and the Aurora Australis or Southern Lights, these are the southern hemisphere equivalent of the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights.
Taken during the Antarctic winter in the general vicinity of McMurdo Station and Scott Base.

Star trails, looking straight up over about 2 hours the movement of the stars create an overhead circular pattern. The green bits in the sky are from some auroras that passed though the shot.

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.
