I've just stumbled across a really inspiring video of Antarctica, created by YouTube user Anthony Powell (aka Antzarctica) during his time at McMurdo Station and Scott Base over the past five years. I do recommend taking a look at his video, which captures the seasons of life at the American base through creative time-lapse photogrphic imagery, from the bustle of summer to the illuminating and surreal southern lights (watch the video here). The icebreaker Kapitan Khlebnikov usually visits McMurdo Station in the austral summer, as featured in our Ross Sea Voyages - notably the Great Explorers Voyage. But I'm afraid you'll have to stay the entire winter season down there if you're looking for the aurora australis (which are only visible during the cold dark winter months, when the station is 'frozen in' and inaccessible to travellers). Enjoy!
