Viewfinder: The Mountain | Timelapse of the Milky Way by Terje Sorgjerd

By Eric Yang on 4.19.11

Yes, it’s another timelapse and yes we had an entirely different post ready for this edition of Viewfinder, but then a new, astonishing piece of work by the time-bending maestro Terje Sorgjerd landed on our desks. Sorgjerd, who filmed the Aurora Timelapse we brought you a couple weeks ago is back with an even more confoundingly staggering film. Over the span of week, atop El Teide, Spain’s highest mountain, Sorgjerd used a Canon 5D mkII and a grip of lenses to capture a terrestrial perspective of the Milky Way, even managing to film through a sandstorm, but enough of our gabbing — hit play and be mesmerized.

Viewfinder is a series of captivating photos taken by the GP crew, culled from the web, dug out of our archives, or submitted by readers.
