Cameras always have to be heated, motion control gear modified and setups made storm-proof.
Many of the shots in the video have been recorded for 24h or more to capture a full revolution of the earth spinning once around its axis.
Shot by Benjamin Eberhardt, experiment operator and astrophysicist at the IceCube Neutrino telescope at the the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station. He spent a full winter at the pole with over a year spent on the ice.

FAQ: there is ZERO air-traffic over the south pole. The streaks you can see are for the most part satellites on polar orbits.

It literally stops me dead in my tracks whenever the moon or stars are visible. I always sit there and stare, constantly telling myself those are real places. Places with matter, sound, smells and moving all in one. Whenever I see these distant notes of light, I'm always put at ease knowing that the world is still there, and as long as there are stars in the sky, there is hope for tomorrow. Even if we perish, life may continue on somewhere else.

Thank you for reminding me that we live on a planet - an amazing, living, breathing planet.

I got goosebumps. That is my no. 1 on my bucket list. I just googled to see if anyone has ever filmed the stars and night sky just... rotating round and round in circles, from the very bottom viewpoint and perspective of a spinning ball, Antarctica. Laying on your back for hours just staring at it, now thats something to live for. Add on top of that experience, the Aurora Australis as well. Like I said, GOOSEBUMPS. And I would take this over the north pole any day.

So amazing to see the core of the milkyway combined with the Aurora Australis, simply stunning!!

Very creative the way you kept the target on the surface and let the sky rotate.... then kept the target on the milky way and let the earth rotate.... absolutely spectacular... wow.

Just speechless... I can't believe there can be such wonders on Earth

Absolutely stunning. The colours at 1:43 are breathtakingly beautiful.

These fantastic time-lapses give us a hint of what humankind is missing with our insane light pollution, both from the ground and, lately, from offending satellite networks. As stardust, but with a conscience, we are literally losing the sight of our local Universe, which holds both our past, where we came from, and our future, where we'll all go back to, either to survive as a species or as stardust.

Einfach nur geil. Danke für dieses atemberaubende Video. LG Mathias
