Stunning Timelapse “The Mountain” Shows Off Our Milky Way

by Eric Reagan on April 23, 2011

In the above timelapse video, Terje Sorgjerd gives us an amazing glimpse from the top of El Teide – Spain’s highest mountain. Just epic stuff.

This was filmed between 4th and 11th April 2011. I had the pleasure of visiting El Teide. Spain´s highest mountain @(3718m) is one of the best places in the world to photograph the stars and is also the location of Teide Observatories, considered to be one of the world´s best observatories. -Terje Sorgjerd
