Fantastic video. Antarctica is the least hospitable, most inherently psychedelic environment on earth, and this guy has used a sky-tracking telescope mount to capture some eye-poppingly unreal time-lapse shots. He claims to have destroyed several cameras in the process, and based on some of the scenes, I can imagine how this could be.

Time-lapse video filmed in Antarctica, in and around McMurdo Station and Scott Base.
Each year the sun is below the horizon for 4 months in the middle of winter, and above the horizon for 4 months in summer. During the couple of months in between we have more-or-less normal days.
Includes shots of auroras and the very rare polar stratospheric nacreous clouds, which form when ozone depleting gases crystallize in the upper atmosphere in the intense cold.
Summer population is about 1200 people, winter about 200.
This is just a small sample of an ongoing project to collect time-lapse imagery of Antarctica. I have taken over 1,000,000 individual photos and worn out a number of cameras that make up the collection of footage I have gathered so far over the last 6 years. Eventually a film will be released, keep an eye on my user page for more info in the future.

Okay – this site is about 90% junk, but every now and again, pure comic gold surfaces. Or this one, which is … well, scary:

The premise is simple enough: people find pictures that depict questionable events, and then other people make funny comments about them. See? Simple! …and obviously an epic timesink.

Have you ever seen a picture that simply makes no sense. Here we have collected pictures from around the web that left us scratching our heads and saying “wut”. See if you can explain what’s going on in the photos and read the explanations that other people write.
