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.
