Antarctica
So I've now put two YouTube videos in a row on my blog. Guess that means I'm hurting for original material.
In any case, enjoy this really neat time-lapse video from Antarctica. The photographer is Anthony Powell. He writes:
"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 5 years."
Anyway, I smiled when I watched this.
