Aurora



Video Info

Author: Antzarctica
Description: Go to http://www.antarcticimages.com for a higher resolution version of this clip. 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. The specific music used is by Danny Elfman from the Black Beauty soundtrack, the track is called "Memories"... available at most music retailers.

Gamestopper is a simpleton, even after all the obvious chopped movements, the ending credits said "pictures".

Thank you for such a wonderful video. It looks as if a painting came to life. I hope I can see this myself before I kick the bucket.

1 question bro why the hell did you show the polution at 0:26 you know thats gonna enrage people who are all brainwashed by that "global-warming" bullshit the government puts out and im not against recycling or anything its just why do extra work when its not needed

@GirlsWithStyle29 would it help if i said sorry, because i just recently found a girl im absolutely in love with... and now i realize how immature i was to judge somebody by the way they love someone because now im in love with her and the great thing about it is SHE LOVES ME TO which is odd for me because i have aspergers and not many people without it can relate to me but im sorry honestly because now that i think about it thats kind of my wish with her aswell

SUPER : )

Crap, I need a job that gets me stationed down there..

@kuciaotopi I have a wish too, and that is to stand beside my husband holding hands together, in antarctic watching auroras passing us by...... breathless

The lights may move slowly, or wave very fast. It depends. You do not need a special camera. Sometimes the lights are bright, sometimes not so much. Sometimes they are in colors, if it’s an intense storm. If you do long exposure, you will get blurry pictures. The N and S lights are the same, just at different poles, tho the southern may be ‘prettier’ if you spent more money and time to see them…

@kuciaotopi I played at a festival in Manitoba, about 200 miles above the border. The lights were incredible. Email different towns up north, and ask about the lights. It may have been a normal week up there, or something special. The locals would know. There are sites that tell you when the better times are. It's not that far away - go for it. You don't have to go to the south pole! (and don't forget the wife...) Every night, after the show, we laid in the field and watched the lights dance!

Kuc - go to Canada. We played at a festival in Manitoba, about 200 miles above the border. After the show, we'd lay in a field and watch the most intense lights, dancing in the sky. Maybe it was a bigger show than normal, but none of the locals mentioned that. It was spectacular. Email different town up north. They may know how often you see them. There are sites that tell you when they are more active. It's not hard to do. Go for it!

I hope that before I die I get to see an aurora

@gamestopper100 probably fast forward coz of the people and the sun

It's gonna happen today or tomorrow.

@Thanatos659 there's more to it than that. Has to do with sun flares as well

Yay spacial magnetic field!!!!!!! NOTE: thats why aurorae occur
