THE POLAR NIGHT | 9 month timelapse at the South Pole | 4K60 HDR

This is a long-term timelapse covering a full polar night at the South Pole. Shot in 2016 by Robert Schwarz, CMB-Observatory (Cosmic Microwave Background) operator and technician at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station. The South Pole is one of the coldest, driest and harshest places on earth. The Aurora Australis can be seen together with the core of the milkyway only here in Antarctica. Temperatures below -70°C/-95°F during the polar night are not uncommon. Together with strong winds and exceptional aridity this is one of the hardest places in which to shoot timelapse. Special equipment has been constructed and modified to keep the cameras running.
