YIKÁÍSDÁHÁ – The Navajo of the Southwest

To the Navajo of the American Southwest, the phrase “YIKÁÍSDÁHÁ” means two things: Milky Way, and “that which awaits the dawn”. This stunning time-lapse video by Gavin Heffernan and Harun Mehmedovic captures the skies of the Southwest in that ethereal time before dawn.

Andy Palmer
Raised in beautiful but rainy England, Andy moved to the sunny climes of Southern California in 1995 and hasn’t looked back since. Two and half decades working in the outdoor, bike and surf industries has given him a thirst for adventure and living life without a ceiling. When not working on the website, he can be found surfing Californian beaches, or in remote mountain or desert areas, either primitive camping, mountain biking or embarking upon vehicle assisted adventure in the backcountry with one of The Adventure Portal rigs.
