Time-lapse 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 nacreous clouds.
Summer population is about 1200 people, winter about 200.

Pretty cool. I liked the aurora australis, and the view of the penumbra at abut 5:34.

What is that song from, the one during the last half of the video? I know I have heard it before, but I don't know what it is...

The music for the winter portion is from Edward Scissorhands. I believe it's the track "The Ice Dance" from the end of the film. An amazingly sad and sweet song.

I thought "The Ice Dance" was from the end, but it is listed in the middle on the soundtrack, so perhaps it's "The Grand Finale." I may be a bit off on the track, but it's definitely Edward Scissorhands.

Re: Antarctica Time-lapse: A Year on Ice
This was amazing. I didn't have time to watch all six minutes, but it was incredible. It makes me want to take a trip to Antarctica.
Nice link.

Re: Antarctica Time-lapse: A Year on Ice
Can someone throw me a bone on the name/artist of the music during the first (summer) part of the vid? I'd like to look into it more.
TIA
