This is a demo clip I did back in 2005 to demonstrate the potential for time-lapse imagery in Antarctica.
This time-lapse video was 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 crystallise in the upper atmosphere in the intense cold.
Summer population at McMurdo is about 1000 people, winter about 150.
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.
Your time lapse shots were well planned out. I liked the panning shots particularly.
Heyyy i watch your channel (i know i am 12 years late)
Same
Mommy?
Real OG comment & youtube channel here 👏😭
Ahhh! It’s like an Easter egg
It blows my mind that it was posted in the early days of youtube. Truly admire videos like this that are 10+ years old and still posted.
same here.
Yeah! I too prefer to watch videos as old as this one..
noticed that their system to identify songs used in videos works retroactively, which the uploader most likely did not foresee on Jul 3, 2006.
I too, dig the "old" videos that were made and uploaded before 2010. It makes me nostalgic.
Never have I seen a RUclips video from 2006 with such high quality
Must have taken days to upload at this quality.
Definitely!
As a meteorologist, thank you for sharing the polar stratospheric clouds :)
I remember seeing this video in 2009 and never gets old. Love it
Best 6 minutes of video I've seen. It's amazing how we take for granted that the sun/moon rise and set and we see it from a different perspective. I would have NEVER thought of it going horizontal. It makes sense now. Awe inspiring! You matched the music well! Thanks for sharing this with us!
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
Such a beautiful video! I’m so glad I found it. The fact that it was uploaded in 2006 gives it a nostalgic quality to me.
watched this clip when it came out and after all these years still beautiful
This is one of the most amazing things ive ever seen. I would love to have the HD version of this if thats possible.
That was nothing but fantastically beautiful - well done !!!!
After 15 years you are getting 1 like from me
You are so lucky 🤣🤣😂😂🤣😂🤣😂❤️

Thank you so much for this.. been watching it numerous times every now and then since 2006. Fantastic filming and equally fantastic pick of songs for it.
Thank you.
This was an absolute pleasure to watch. Thank you!
Excellent work,time lapse with pan,tilt,zoom or all of the above is great.The Aurora stuff is brilliant as is the amazing movement of clouds and the almost permanent look of "sunset" due to the polar path of the sun.10/10
are you still alive
Brilliant! The music completes the package. Great choice of the upbeat Afro Celts and the mysterious Soundtrack. IMAX-worthy!
Thank you for giving us a glimpse into the absolute beauty of the world we live in. It was a moment of awe for me. Thank you.
Noone can beat your videos for sheer power and beauty.
I feel suddenly humbled by the quality of your work and the impressive nature of the subject matter.
I'll be back for more my friend.
Wow, 15 years ago...
Noice
Are you the first comment
That is really amazing, I love the way the sun moves across the sky. Incredible!
Seriously amazing shots, well done. Got to love the time lapse photography.
What an amazing work. Full gratitude for everyone who acts as custodians for this gorgeous place 👏🙏✌️
This THE most amazing time-lapse video I've ever seen.
That shot from 2:07 to 2:10 was the most impressive time lapse I've seen in awhile. Gives me some ideas of my own for some non stationary time lapse... hrmm.
Yes, I think that was probably the first "Hyperlapse" shot ever done. It is about 10 years old now. I have since perfected the technique to get it quite smooth, and done it from helicopters a lot of times too.
truly amazing, incredible, inspiring...I have nothing but admiration for people who work there and for you who takes such magnificent photo shots of an amazing land the rest of the world doesn't get to see.
And on top of that, the music is good!
This is one of the most beautiful pieces of film I have ever seen. Fantastic.
Anthony,
Thank you for sharing this video with us. Though Antarctica always seems a harsh place, it shows such exquisite beauty and serenity. I can't to get there for Christmas 2007!!!!!
So did you get there for Christmas back in 2007
I thank RUclips for helping me discover this masterpiece . Great shots !!
These are, by far, the most amazing and beautiful scenes I have ever seen. I am indeed speechless. I would give anything to go to that amazing planet you are on:)
omg this just beautiful. winter looks like its such a beautiful time, the music really compliments the pictures for winter. Its like a fantasy land almost
Fantastic, nothing else says it better than simply fantastic. Great job and thank you for sharing your hard work with us!
Breathtaking. Great music too. I've enjoyed all your films from Antarctica.
Brilliant, breathtaking. I laud you & thank you for such painstakingly & finely produced efforts you've shared with us. I feel privileged indeed.

LP
One of the best videos I have seen on RUclips.
Thank You!
Wow...I am absolutely blown away by the artistry of the filmaker, and the majesty of Nature. This is the most incredibly beautiful film that I have ever seen!
The music was also fantastic!!!
Thank you so much just for being on this
planet, Antzartica! Your talents and gifts bring so much! There aren't enough stars on RUclips to give you, you should have a thousand for this!!! Thank you for the share, LKWood! Thank you!!!
The music that you chose for this has no business being this much of a banger.
Sent shivers down my spine! Thanks for creating and sharing.
Had been waiting to see the full movie for 6 years - since I was in high school. Thank you for your work.
Astonishing...very perceptive patching of different cuts (like the auroras followed by clouds)...way beautiful!
Simply breathtaking. I don't know how you did it, but you made Antarctica look downright welcoming.
incredible, i felt an overwelming feeling of peace by the end of that. possibly one of the most beautiful videos on youtube, the music was perfect also.
Breathtaking. Thank you for taking the time and effort.
Excellent footage sir. Seriously brilliant stuff. Thanks for sharing
This is one of the most stunning things I've seen. Thanks for sharing.
This video touched my heart... our planet is so beautiful and so many views we never seen before..
Amazing video, especially with the auroras those were simply beautiful. You are so lucky to live in such an amazing place
This is a great video. Beautiful shots....Love it... One of the best things I have seen on RUclips
An examplary combination of knowledge, talent and determination. The video editing and music choices are masterful.
Next time you fly out of Christchurch (my home town) to Antartica, consider this: your video has touched the hearts and minds of this entire city (the equivalent of). I hope this, in turn, touches you. You have a right to be proud.
WOW! That was probably the best video I've seen on RUclips. The time lapse of the boat in the summer and the Southern Lights in the Winter were both incredible! Thanks for doing this.
This is an excellent piece of work, the kind of presentation on which RUclips should thrive. Thank you!
are you still alive
I love this video... especially the winter segment..
When the part on the aurora comes out it totally blows me away. =)
Perhaps the greatest (and longest) time lapse I've ever seen. I mean, honestly, this looks like a fantasy world, but it's all real. It's all so beautiful and dazzling. Thank you very much for making this.
Excellent video! It's a very loving look at the most remote and forbidding, and beautiful place on earth...
Simply stunning! It's a place I've always wanted to see but probably never will. Thank you.
It's one of those movies you just stare at. Great work. Thx 4 posting
This video just transported me back to memories of happy warm times at christmas.
One of the most amazing videos I've ever seen! Beautiful! Thank You!

You must have been absolutly thrilled with the way these have come out. I live in Christchurch, a jump point for the Antarctic, and this is some of the best I've seen, just goes to show that no matter what man can do to this planet beauty will always be there. GO PLANET.

What a great video , like old is gold. Hopefully the algorithm will blow this video in terms of views.
I miss the old RUclips, the one that inspired and motivated me.
BEAUTIFUL. Simply beautfiul. There's really no words for it; beautiful will have to suffice. Thanks for posting.
Wow...simply amazing. Cant wait for the full film on HD!
I worked there 54 weeks in 1993-94. This is as nice and neat a depiction as I have seen.
Thank you for taking the time to put this beautiful piece together.

Woooooo...Antarctica and Davy Spillane...my favourites in one spot! Wow. Mt heart's in heaven.

Brilliant timelapse and stunning work

Absolutely wonderful job. The fact that this is just a sample makes me hungry for more:)
Can't imagine how much time you spent collecting this footage. And the effect - beautiful!
I am emotionally overwhelmed... and speechless...
Thank you for your dedication
are you still alive
Winter there is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
I am so fascinated that the sun, moon, and stars are all moving straight across the sky from right to left...the opposite direction than the north pole left to right. BEAUTIFUL!!! I never ever thought this would look like this. WOW. God's beautiful creations.
Amazing! I love your Aurora time lapse.
i've been there already 2 times and i will go back!! it is just amazing!
the whole thing is one of the best i've seen. well done, you lucky fecker!!!!
Beautiful choice of music. I hate the spiratic winter weather I have to live with (midwest), but hearing Danny Elfman makes the cold seem so beautiful. Thanks.
OK I've just watched this again - it's wonderful! Everyone needs to see this video... they need to understand WHY we have to keep Antarctica the way it is and WHY we need to look after this planet. Only wish I could see it with my own eyes. Maybe someday! :)
Antarctica is really beautiful.. saluting every scientists there..Love from Neighbor NZ..
Thanks for making this spectacular video. I had never seen or heard of nacreous clouds before. Also, I had no idea people actually live in Antarctica. Simply amazing. Awesome choice in music too.. Afro Celt Sound System rocks!
are you still alive
Thank you for making this incredible video. I had never seen or heard of a nacreous cloud before this. I also was unaware that people actually live in Antarctica.. Simply amazing. Also, Afro Celt Sound System rocks!

Utterly breathtaking.
