Aurora

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.

I'm going to antartica for work in 3 weeks. I fucking hate it there. Go every year. Talk about shit... But we go in summer... The 1st time was amazing but now I spend the whole year trying to get out of it!

If the aurora borealis is in the northern hemisphere, what do you call the aurora of the southern hemisphere ? Just curious...

@cubanboy740 Well it is South not North. And I have had more fun there than anywhere else in the world by far.

@cubanboy740 Yes, you can run swim and drive, and see the most spectacular sights on the planet. I've traveled far and wide, but have yet to see anything else that matches the spectacle or the people.
