Photographer Peter Cox captured these stunning images of the high Arctic—the location’s high latitude made it difficult for Cox to use the drone’s GPS functions. Nonetheless, we are sure you will agree that the resulting footage shows a Beautiful landscape that many will never be able to visit. Enjoy
Svalbard, The High Arctic—Peter Cox
Svalbard – The High Arctic from Peter Cox on Vimeo.
From Peter’s Vimeo post: 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.
