Hi everyone, I’m Christan Long!

I am an adventure traveler who grew up as a part of The Long Family of Gorge River. We are the most isolated family in New Zealand. We live 2 days walk from the nearest road on the South Island West Coast, between Haast and Milford Sound.

In this video, I will show you the beauty of the sea ice breaking-up on the sea in Antarctica. This is such a beautiful sight of nature and happens each summer as it warms all around the continent. It is an amazing sight and you can stare at it for hours waiting for the next piece to break off. I will show the sea ice breaking out in front of McMurdo Station and Scott Base in February 2019.

You will also see the scenery from Observation Hill. This timelapse is taken over a period of half an hour and the camera is pointed due south. The sea ice forms during the extremely cold winter and spring months and then weakens and breaks up during summer and fall.

Strong southerly winds will speed up this process and push the ice out to sea. While northerly winds or no wind will slow the process. This cycle repeats every year.
