People stunned as man shares what it looks like in Antarctica at midnight

There are some places on Earth where time and weather work a little differently, such as Antarctica.

This patch of ice and snow is where you’ll find the North and South poles, and where you can also see penguin colonies.

But it’s so much more than that.

TikToker Matty K Jordan shocked viewers when he revealed just what an average midnight looked like on the continent, and people can’t get their heads around it.

While what goes on in the Antarctic is a mystery for a lot of people, it’s actually pretty cool.

According to the British Antarctic Survey, Antarctica is ‘the world's most important natural laboratory’ and also ‘a place of great beauty and wonder’.

The website explains: “Its frozen wastes have fired the public imagination for generations, and around 30,000 tourists now visit the Antarctic each year to experience what life is like in the Earth's last great wilderness.”

But if you can’t afford the cost to visit, you’ll be unaware of its strange weather.

Specifically, its constant stream of sunlight for months and months on end.

Twenty-four-hour sun sounds like a dream to many, but how would you feel having to go to sleep when it looks like it’s still midday?

As for what it looks like, it’s magical.

Matty captured a video at six minutes past midnight for his viewers, to show them exactly how much light he sees while he’s working in Antarctica.

He shared his clip, which begins with him exciting his home and opening the doors to the outside.

Then, as soon as the door is open, he’s hit with the clearest sunlight you’ve ever seen.

It’s nothing but clear skies and brilliant white for miles to see.

Of course, viewers were left baffled and couldn’t understand how it could be so light all the time.

One person wrote: “How do you sleeeeep??”

Another said: “The next sunset isn’t until when?!?”

Someone else commented: “Places like this always remind me of 30 Days of Night.”

One user joked: “At least you have sun, in the UK we have a few hours of grey sky and then it’s dark again.”

Another laughed: “How do you know when to call it a day?”

That’s actually a perfectly good question.

Apparently, it’s all down to the Hemisphere.

The Southern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun, and receives a greater amount of sunlight in the Antarctic summer.

According to Robert Schwarz, who was stationed in the Antarctic for around 15 years as part of the Keck project, it’s mesmerising to be around.

He filmed a timelapse while at his location, which shows the bright sun floating above the horizon for five whole days in 2017.

The footage he caught shows it just circling the horizon constantly, with the sunlight never lapsing.

However, that all changes from the period of April to August as the Hemisphere tilts away.

Anyway, it’s all down to science, and that’s pretty cool.
