‘Breath of the Seasons’ has been my personal project from early 2017 until early 2020. Living around the Jutland peninsula in Denmark my entire life, what inspired me to make this film was the very difference between winter, spring, summer and autumn in the already diverse Jutlandic landscapes – and the visually beautiful story this has. To show this cycle in nature through timelapse photography has been a mammoth task and a huge completion for me personally. It has driven me through all spectres emotionally; exhaustion, excitement, despair, joy and everything in between. The countless hours spent on locations made me see and feel the difference of all four seasons. It opened my eyes to how similar nature actually is to humans; As nature takes a single breath all four seasons play before our eyes until she’s ready for the next breath and it all starts over again. Energy is everywhere and nothing is at a standstill.

Get immersed in the magical lightshow that Aurora Australis delivers at the geographic South Pole. Filmed at the Admundsen Scott station in Antarctica by Raffaela Busse, experiment operator and astrophysicist at the IceCube Neutrino telescope at the the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station. She spent a full winter at the pole with over a year on the ice.

Volcano Calbuco erupted on April 22, 2015, Exactly 5 years ago from the date of upload of this video. I went through an extensive remastering process to bring you this footage in new sharpness and detail. Also some unusable scenes from before could be rescued and extended this cut.[…]

Filming at the South Pole during the polar night is pretty much as hard as it gets. Temperatures below -70°C/-95°F are not uncommon. Cables break like spaghetti, LCD displays freeze up even electronic components stop working. Cameras always have to be heated, motion control gear modified and setups made storm-proof. Many of the shots in the video have been recorded for 24h or more to capture a full revolution of the earth spinning once around its axis. Shot by Benjamin Eberhardt, experiment operator and astrophysicist at the IceCube Neutrino telescope at the the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station. He spent a full winter at the pole with over a year spent on the ice.[…]
