This photo must be The most northerly photo on this Forum ! (approx. 700 kilometres from the North Pole)
It was very special to me as it was taken after a flight of 10 minutes at -10 degrees, over half a mile of open sea at Nordenskiöld Glacier on the Island of Spitzbergen, The glacier is across the open sea from Pyramiden, the most Northerly Town in The World, which was once a Russian Coal Mining Town ,now abandoned (apart form 6 people).
I had been on a small boat that had to go ashore during our Excursion. It was also special as it was taken on the day of our 40th wedding anniversary last year.
It was one of those “shall I, shan’t I” moments, I had my batteries in the my warm Artic Parka, and went for it !.
200 feet high Glacier Wall, 12 miles long, 3 miles wide.
I knew that if anything went wrong with my Mavic, I could kiss it goodbye !.
I landed with 5% Battery remaining !!
