Svalbard - The High Arctic

A short film showing off the majesty of the landscape of the high Arctic. Experience stunning aerial footage over sea ice, ice caps and glaciers as well as stunning mountain landscapes. See what it's like to encounter walrus and polar bears from a first person perspective!
Please note: Some of this footage is from a small drone, other parts were made with head-mounted cameras. When flying the drone, we took great pains to stay well clear of birds and other wildlife. We explicitly set out to neither endanger nor harass, and to act responsibly at all times. The footage with wildlife close to the camera was all either head-mounted or hand-held camera work.
A video summary of the two Svalbard photo tours I ran with Luminous Landscape in July 2014. Footage almost exclusively shot with a pair of GoPro Hero 3+ cameras, one mounted on a DJI Phantom 2 drone.

[@hobomike6935]

down low, you get: >plants >animals >warm, pleasant weather >towns and civilization >freshwater >regular sunlight throughout the year Here, you get: >frozen ocean >ice >snow >frost >solid water >rocks buried under a layer of sleet and frozen >extremely cold wind that never stops blowing until you're either dead, or retreat back south >eternal darkness How is this a contest?

[@johncanfield1177]

This was a sidebar suggestion on your Wild Atlantic Way video. So thrilling to travel with you after this fashion. Thank you for the enormous effort this must have taken.

[@PeterCoxPhoto]

Thanks John, really appreciate that =)

[@mattiaswahlen1866]

WOW Peter! i dont know if you remember but i was working as deckhand that trip alongside Marielle. so fun to see this after 4 years! Brings back alot of memories. hope all is well with you and that you continue visiting wonderfull places like Svalbard.

[@petercoxphotography]

[@eric70523]

Great video Will the Arctic Circle and svalbard fly drone need to apply?

[@ronaldbastidas8649]

Muy bonito y frío...

[@Joe-jh8po]

amazing shots, especially of the polar bear! Was it safe to get so close to the walruses? They look terrifying

[@cristianoronaldoaz0788]

Bahut achha seen ba ho , I am BIHARI

[@richardbroner9852]

They should be catching that fresh water and bottling it.

[@be5005]

This is so beautiful. But I hope these places stay as they are. I hope humans do not rush there to spoil and ruin this beauty and solitude. I hope these wildlife and natural landmarks do not turn to Instagram posts of some selfish and arrogant tourists. I hope we can protect these remote and natural parts of our planet from us. Let's for just once stay wherever we are and do not further exploit our world.

[@monicalauber2934]

Amazing place!!! Do you know Chicco Mattos, the brazilian guy who lives there? He also has a KZbin channel.....he makes documentaries for the Off channel.....

[@khalidbinwalid1566]

Beautiful. However, why the fish eye? :(

[@ajmalshahtravelling7088]

[@ClubrelaxIt]

Good Morning, your work is amazing. I would like to share your video on my page FB to motivate the people to travel to this destination. can I?

[@MrSasha8]

1:30 water !!

[@iedereenwinters7571]

The earth is round...

[@adamlaity1065]

Hi Peter- I love this work, I saw it for the first time last year... but did you know that other people are re-loading versions of it claiming it was shot with different drones, i.e. Mavic Pro from DJI: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIOWmniZidlomc0 / kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJzIgnh3r8-VqqM ... might not be an issue, but thought I'd mention it. As you're the real deal I'll ask you a question- did you experience any magnetic interference flying so far north? And any tips for launching from a boat?

[@skinzebrasalive]

who are the 36 weirdos that give this a thumbs down??

[@GoodTravelChannel]

Great

[@angelabarabas1659]

Beautiful but too cold for me

[@BOSSBLADE1889]

What time of year was this please?

[@thekrypticarchive1282]

Hello. I really enjoyed the video. I was just wondering if I could use a short clip from this scene for a small video series im working on. All the needs will be accommodated and I will properly reference you in the video. I promise I will completely understand if I am not allowed. Please let me know when you can :)

[@thekrypticarchive1282]

ok thanks for letting me know

[@arvinderarora4952]

Super.i.want.see.ice

[@incanada83]

Nature's Ballet until ....I saw a "boat/s & people". Then...I look at my street and see garbage. How can that be!? Doesn't matter how much we pick up, we are drowning in waste.

[@tickle296]

8.12 too good background music. Keep it up.

[@luanpablo8033]

Can I get some scenes to do a lyric video?

[@mdrofiqul780]

বিউটিফুল ভিডিও তৈরি করে আমার মোবাইলে পাঠিয়ে দাও

[@cheekybastard7798]

Is the river in the ice wall all ice that has melted?! Shit, we really do need to stop climate change.

[@dragonden9227]

I supply fish alcohol and meat over there
