Svalbard - The High Arctic

UPDATE: I'll be in Svalbard again in the summer of 2018 - the same time of year this video was shot, partnered up with Icelandic nature photographer Daniel Bergmann: http://www.danielbergmann.com/workshops/2018-svalbard-expedition

Why not join us and experience this for yourself?

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.
