In Most Places, The Sun Comes Up, Moring,

the sun goes down, night,


but not at some times in the Antarctic, Robert Schwarz, who was stationed in there for 15 years as part of the experimental Keck project

took this footage, although shot in March 2017, the footage captures the bright sky just before the first sunset in months, when the pole experiences a dark period from April to August,

 the time lapse shows the bright star floating above the horizon for an entire five-day period, Schwarz documents a variety of natural phenomena, including the dancing lights of the aurora australis, moon phases, and the Milky Way, on Vimeo, also if you want to look at the above in full size have a look here, it must seem so strange, sunlight 24/7.
