Atacama, the home to the darkest and cleanest skies in the world

Watch one of the best time-lapse videos of 2017, shot in the stunning Atacama desert, home to the darkest and cleanest skies in the world. Shot by professional photographer and time-lapser Martin Heck using a Canon 6D on a Dynamic Perception slider and LRTimelapse in the end.

Martin shared with us the following details on his video:

The Atacama desert is home to the darkest and cleanest skies in the world. A view to the nightsky rewards with uncountable numbers of stars and fantastic nebulas in one of the most quiet a empty places on earth. Not a single noise distracts from the grand show the nightsky has to offer.
The environment is harsh though. Filmed in freezing temperatures, altitudes up to 5000m/16000ft, salt lakes and icy slopes, the Atacama is not friendly to life and equipment. Though it provides without doubt for epic and vast vistas of one of the greatest landscapes on earth.
