The Earth Story

Snaking through the sky 

This panoramic photograph of the Milky Way was taken in Serpentine National Park. The falls are formed where water tumbles over the Darling Scarp, a major fault near the coast in Western Australia that separates ancient, Precambrian aged crust from younger rocks in the Perth Basin to the west.

Watch how the clouds sometimes punch through to a higher layer in the atmosphere - that’s the part where it becomes a “pyrocumulus”, the cloud is going so high under its own energy that it begins condensing water and forming a normal water cloud.

Radiating Perseids This photograph of August’s Perseid Meteor Shower was taken on top of the Wasserkuppe Mountain in Central Germany at the peak of the meteor shower in 2015. The structure in the foreground is a Cold War vintage radio station used to watch over the border between East and West Germany.

It says a lot about Patagonia that this amazing footage is the B-roll material that wasn't used in this videographer's first feature on the site. I love the clear shot of Cerro Chaltén (Mt. Fitz Roy) early in this clip.

A lovely timelapse trip through the Swiss Alps. Original caption: "Almost five thousand frames shot over 10 days, 500Gb of material to edit, traveled about one thousand kilometres by car, spent countless hours hiking and finding spot to photograph. The most epic trip of my life, so far.This is Switzerland, enjoy!"
