Halfway around the World
October 8, 2011 from 20:53:10 to 21:24:58 GMT
This journey starts in the mid-Atlantic between South America and Africa, ascending to the Balkan Peninsula before rounding out on a descending southwest pass towards the Solomon Islands. The camera faces west, giving us a view of the setting sun.
Sweeping over the Sahara in northern Africa, we move towards the Mediterranean Sea and the Balkan Peninsula.
Finally, Russia and Kazakhstan appear as we begin the descent towards the southern Pacific Ocean.
As our journey comes to an end, the faint light of the Aurora Borealis can be seen illuminating the sky.
