  1. This is just so wonderful, I love everything about it. Thank you so much for sharing this.

    The whole series so far has been totally fascinating and lovely. Awesome work.

  2. the colours ble me away as well! most of all the combination of icebergs in air being such a homogenously flat snow shade, and the moment they are underwater, boom, off the scale insta-teal!

  3. Nice, very nice. It’s flicks like this that really make having a HDTV worth it. Also the surprise at the end was pretty cool.

    Thanks Norm

  4. I want stills of a bunch of this footage, I can’t get the pixels to see some of the stuff. Little too blurry for me to pick out what everybody’s talking about, I think.

  5. Do you do anything to the drone to make it float in case of a crash? Most of the hardware is probably toast when it hits water but the footage might survive.

  6. That was breathtaking!

    I couldn’t help thinking of Edoras looking at the houses in the town on the rocks, especially in the shot looking back from over the water.

    I can’t imagine how difficult it is to explain what this was like to everyone that wasn’t there. This looks like a trip of a lifetime. And thank you for documenting it for us. It’s fun to see this part of our world through a fellow geeks eyes! Bravo!

  7. At end of the video, bottom left corner of the screen shows a whale.

    We do live in an amazing era. This view wasn’t available to us humans just a few decades ago.

  8. It would be nice to have some still images (at highest possible resolution) from the 4k video available for Premium members.

  9. Amazing! Loved the ending and great choice of bgm!

    I just joined premium membership so maybe this is a stupid question.
    How come the video is not available in HD? It’s comparable to Youtube’s 360p and it really hurts seeing this amazing footage pixelated like this.

  10. Fantastic work! What an amazing experience. This reminded me, of course, of some of the Planet Earth videos that David Attenborough narrated, Welcome home Norm!

  11. The Premium video-player has trouble going to the HD feed for a lot of users. If you’re on windows, try watching in Microsoft’s Edge browser which seems to work the best 🙂

  12. Gorgeous images!

    The range on those Inspire’s seems pretty phenomenal. I’m astonished how far you’re flying that thing!

  13. Absolutely amazing pictures, those pictures at the end though are just truly amazing. You have to say what an amazing planet we live on and what an opportunity to go on that trip it looks incredible.

  14. Quite possibly the best premium content yet and excellent motivation to get serious about drone videography. Thanks Tested and DJI.
