Antarctica Time lapse: A Year on Ice

Go to http://www.antarcticimages.com... for a better quality version of this clip.Blog: http://www.frozensouth.comTime... 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. Check out my other videos as well for more of life on the Ice. 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.

Wow! Beautiful! This just made my day a much nicer one to see how someone has captured the beauty of the world.

Great work! I try do something same, but i dont have so much time.

As a bit of a guess on my part I would say around 5000 in summer, winter about 500. All in an area larger than Australia or continental US.

How many people live in Antarctica? I'm sure people don't "live"there but you get my point.

Beautiful place, no taxes, no politicians, as long as your feet can stay warm and you have your honey with you seems so peaceful. Wonderful photography

I like the background music from the winter part of the video. Could anyone tell me what that is? Thanks.
