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.

    Every second of the video corresponds to hours, maybe even days. So much effort for a video.. I can't find anything to say, literally the limits of perfection.

    This is one of the most impressive timelapses I've ever seen!
  • I think it's absolutely wonderful to see such a beautiful natural landscape, and I believe the picture quality, composition, and everything else is perfect.

    In every video I've seen of Antarctica sunset, the sun moves from right to left. It shows that the Sun moves in an orbit above the Earth and Antarctica is on the other side of the orbit.
