I’ve been pondering a trip to Antarctica ever since I sat by a beach near the bottom of New Zealand’s South Island and saw a sign that pointed south reading “South Pole 4897 km”. Now, 4897 km is no short hop, but there was nothing between me and Antarctica but ocean. While it’s easier than ever to visit Antarctica, the cost is astronomical and there’s the issue of over-tourism there already. So for now I’ll have to be satisfied with seeing the continent on video.
The 8-minute video of a drone’s eye tour of the coast of Antarctica below is simply amazing.
The video was shot by Swedish adventurer Kalle Ljung with with a GoPro HERO3+ Black Edition and DJI Phantom 2, edited with Final Cut Pro X.

Gorgeous video. Cast it onto the best TV in your house for full effect. Thanks for sharing, Brian.
Awesome. I don’t plan to travel there but have a read accounts by people who have. Some of the adventurers that have traversed the continent have amazing stories to tell.
You should save and go before it goes is closed off as its only a matter of time before there’s an accident down there with a cruise ship. Our son has done 2 Christmases there as part of an Otago university research team measuring the changes in the ice and will head back in 4 weeks for their final year of research. He said its beautiful but scary on the ice as hazards and risks at any time with weather changes and ice shelf issues but he loves it. Go visit while you still can.
