Recreating Antarctica in Whiteout
Maya was used for fire and impact particle effects and Houdini for snow impact, flaming engines, smoke and fire. CafeFX also created custom effects solutions for flame, smoke and big impact snow using both Houdini and Maya. XSI (now Autodesk Softimage) and mental ray were used for the 3D modeling, texturing and lighting of the plane in the sky. Digital Fusion was used for compositing and 2D effects such as muzzle flashes.

I´m gointo to link to that post a reference to Antartica.
Thanks.
Actually, since the plane crash takes place in Antarctica: Aurora Borealis is the term for auroras on the northern hemisphere, and Aurora Australis occurs on the southern hemisphere.
