  • Flight to the Lights 2 was the second private chartered flight from New Zealand to fly south to the Antarctic circle with the aim to see and photograph the Aurora Australis, the southern lights. In 2017 a Boeing 767 was flown out of Dunedin, New Zealand, on the inaugural flight.
    The plane departed Christchurch, New Zealand at 7.35pm on the 22nd of March, 2018, and landed at the same airport 10 hours later. The plane was a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner from Air New Zealand. Only the window seats were sold on the flight, in seated pairs.
    The time lapse, taken on the starboard side of the aircraft, is slightly cut down from it's original duration of seven hours; due to taking the westward track down we were exposed to more daylight than expected, so the first hour of the time lapse was deemed unnecessary.
    One second of time lapse = one minute of real time.
    Specs:
    Camera: Sony a7S Mk1
    Lens: ZEISS Batis 18mm f2.8
    Duration: 3.2" exposures, 1 photo every 5 seconds.
    Images processed in Adobe Lightroom Classic CC and exported as a time lapse in Final Cut Pro 7.
    Camera was fixed in place and mounted on a tripod on a seat, secured with a combination of gaffer tape and low-tack tape for securing to the window.
    Special thanks must go to Ian Griffin and his staff of elves at the Otago Museum in Dunedin, Air New Zealand for providing the aircraft and extremely friendly and helpful flight crew, Orbit Travel Dunedin for organising the charter, NHNZ Ltd in Dunedin for the loan of my camera gear (and Braydon for the awesome ZEISS lens!), Jonathan's Photo Warehouse for graciously providing some camera bodies and lenses for passengers to use, plus Stephen, Taichi and Paul for helping to organise and run the successful event.

    why is it impossible to see the southern lights from ushuaia? it's a city much closer to the south pole than the australian and new zealand coasts, it should look much better in argentina and chile. New Zealand, Tasmania and Australia are at temperate and even subtropical latitudes, while Patagonia is one step away from the Antarctic continent, it seems very strange that you can't see the southern lights from Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego

      The magnetic pole which is currently closer to Australia / New Zealand than South America may have something to do with it.
