Video: Ghost of the Arctic in search of Polar bears

This beautiful video was shot amidst the harshest Arctic conditions known to men with temperatures averaging -20ºC degrees down to -30ºC in search of Polar Bears. The film crew had its fair share of physical and technical problems in order to make this film possible. With frost bites, snowmobiles breaking down, batteries that would lose their charge in mere minutes, drones that wouldn’t power up and fly, cameras that wouldn’t turn on, steady-cams that would not remain steady, HDMI cables that became brittle and snapped in the cold, frozen audio equipment, broken LCD mounts and more. As with food the crew was living on a limited diet which consisted of dry frozen code, washed down pasta with coffee and the occasional frozen mars bar. Despite these enduring conditions it was a rewarding experience for the crew. And we can only appreciate and thank them for putting together such a beautiful film in one of few places on earth left unspoilt by man. Watch and enjoy
