NIGHT SKY IN ANTARCTICA | 10 MINUTES OF AURORA AUSTRALIS | CINEMATIC | INDIAN RESEARCH STN, BHARATI

AURORA AUSTRALIS & THE NIGHT SKY OF ANTARCTICA

I was part of the 38th Indian Scientific Expedition to Antarctica stationed at the Research Station, Bharati as a Medical Officer. I reached Antarctica on 6th February 2019 and stayed there for 10 months till 1st December 2019.
And it was one hell of a dream come true.

Amidst the chilly barren landscape of this vast continent, there is an inherent peace – a peace that this hectic bustling modern lifestyle of ours denies us. The pristine acres of snowy white lands, the serene eternal silence of the desolate desert, the neutral smell of a pollution-free air – there is a sudden attack of a total sensory deprivation, which in turn, ironically, produces a paradoxical heightened awareness; because for all the astounding other-worldly beauty this place holds, it is in all essentiality an unforgiving land. Hidden meter-wide crevasses, slippery fast ice, highly rugged landscape, the fickle weather which can at any time morph into a blizzard peaking at over 100 knots – it is one spellbinding daunting adventure.

It opens up your clogged up mind, frees your soul. It gives you time to reflect, and find and understand your inner self. It unlocks the true you.

But for all the beauty the land holds, it is the Antarctic night sky that mesmerises me the most. The long winter months when we have 54 days of absolute darkness is pure bliss. With zero light and air pollution, the night sky sings to you. The billions of stars twinkling away in all its glory, with the crystal clear band of Milky way paving a way through the heavens – it is a vision to treasure. And just when you think you have gawked upwards long enough, a gentle flicker of the green Aurora dances into your field of view, and then slowly and steadily fill up the entire sky in a dazzling kaleidoscope of colour. Curtains of purple, pink, green and yellow shoot and wave all around the sky as you can just watch and stare in amazement.

This video was made from a compilation of shots taken over days, and is my labour of love for all in nature that is peaceful, serene and beautiful.

Shot on : Canon EOS 6D II + Samyang 14mm/f2.8

Happy World Environment Day.
