Watch: Antarctica Like You’ve Never Seen It Before

If there’s still a debate about technology versus spirituality, it must take a seat in the face of this spectacular beauty shot with GoPro HERO3+ Black Edition and hoisted dozens of meters above the ocean by a DJI Phantom 2.

Swede Kalle Ljung created this short film during a 20-day trip to the icy continent that makes up the Earth’s southern polar cap, from December 2014 to January 2015. The sound score (by Music Bed) does the movie such justice that I can’t imagine anything else being used for the audio (except maybe for Vangelis’ own Antarctica theme).

The footage is breathtaking, as is Kalle’s editing. Those iceberg closeups give you a sense of what the crew on the Titanic must have felt as they were bracing for impact. I suggest not skipping any parts, especially the end where the humpback whales make their glorious appearance. Hit the play button and enjoy! Have a nice rest of the weekend!
