A Year on Ice: Life in Antarctica

YouTube user Anthony Powell (a.k.a. “Antzarctica“) has captured over 1,000,000 photos of Antarctica while living at McMurdo Station and Scott Base over the past five years. This video captures the dichotomy of the Antarctic summer and winter through stark, fascinating time-lapse photographic imagery.

It’s striking how active it is down there – many more people buzzing around than I would expect.

  1. It really is an incredible place, and thanks for sharing the link to another awesome site. I was ‘lucky’ enough to have an all expenses paid 6 month trip down to the Falkland Islands a few years back (in fact they paid me…) and it included semi-regular cruises down to Antarctica at no extra cost.

    We saw some great stuff – and even got chased by bull elephant seals and everything! It really was a trip and a half…so there are some good things to be said about the Royal Navy! Haha!
    Cheers and keep up the great posts
