she sounds lovely such a beautiful voice and well narrated
Thanks to those who are leaving kind comments. To clarify a few things: breaking the ice doesn't make it melt faster! We are breaking mostly seasonal ice, it melts and reforms every year. After we break through, it quickly resolidifies again. And for those curious about the valuable science we were doing, please visit my National Geographic blog or our cruise website. See the video description for links to the blogs.
Great footage, informative narrative, thanks so much for taking time to put this together!
Magnificient editing and video production, topped only by what you folks were actually doing out there! BRAVO to all involved, thanks for bringing this to us Cassandra!
I think it would be so awesome to explore the world without feeling the frigid cold or the intense heat of the barren. To go to places no one could survive and just explore. Freediving the trenches and the deepest depths of the oceans, exploring the insides of an erupting volcano without being obliterated by lava, the coldest paces on earth and walk through it as if it were a warm sunny day.
This is a great example of the potential of RUclips and how beautiful montages of someone's life.
You have a fantastic voice for narration!!
You have captured brilliant footage and provided an eloquent narration. Congratulations!
Cassandra this video is amazing. Thank you for putting this together. I may never get to do this in person but you allowed me to go along with you.
I was hypnotized the whole time to the video without being able to detach, I saw it to the end. It was mesmerizing! :)
Thanks for all the comments, especially the kind ones. To clarify about the boat and flag: The boat is a United States National Science Foundation Ice Breaker called the Nathaniel B. Palmer. The boat was made in Louisiana and has some cute quirks. One of them is a flag on the front with a picture of a raccoon pointing. The flag allows us to see which way the wind is coming from relative to the movement of the boat... Thanks for watching!
Thanks for posting this. It's amazing.
Dude! This is the ultimate video to watch stoned.
theman4130 riiiight
Thanks for sharing this with us. Even the video runs fast but really I felt as if I joined you in this trip.
Amazing video with thoughtful scripting and editing - thanks for sharing!
Amazing video - thank you for educating me!
Thanks for taking the time to narrate this video and share it. A part of our wonderful and varied natural world I would never have had a glimpse of otherwise. And to witness so many types of sea ice.
have broken ice off the east coast of canada ..its a cool job and the ocean is harsh and beautiful all at the same time .. nice job ..great video
That was gorgeous. Poetic, even.
Cassandra... congratulations. This is one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen.
fantastic. The only thing missing is the sound of the breaking, calving, shattering ice. would be nice to have a bit of that in there somewhere :)
I can't imagine the armor the hull of this ship must have. Incredible!
Amazing. Loved this.
I really enjoyed your narration, and it fits well with the video and music. Nice video!
Our hats off to you! We wouldn't have lasted a day under those conditions never mind 2 months. Great vid!
S P E C T A C U L A R !
Penguins crossing is the best part :D
Wow, amazing, thank you Cassandra :)
Hard to think this was 6 years ago, but it's nice. Be nice to know what's changed since the six years you haven't uploaded.
That was mesmerizing. Like visiting another world.
I also want to become a scientist and travel around and explore. And I will! :) Very cool video, well edited and interesting to watch!
Amazing video, timelapse is a passion of mine and this was really inspiring.
Fantastic Job!!
Breath taking film. Awesome.
fantastic video, respect!
She has a beautiful, soothing voice!
Thanks for the wonderful work that you and your team are doing.
Simply beautiful. Thank you for putting this up.
Great to see! Thanks for uploading this :)
I rather enjoyed that, great narration too. Would be interested to learn more about the project.
Thanks for sharing this experience. Lovely.
This video is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
Simply wonderful.
Fantastic video, thanks. Love the penguins at the end.
amazing vid..love the music and the narration...just amazing ..thank you
Thanks for sharing this! It's fascinating to see the variations in the ice as you traveled around. Time-lapse video can give a snapshot view of what might seem like imperceptible change in real-time. Great narration as well. And the penguin conversations were a great ending!
Nice! You have a great narrative voice and writing skills!
Amazing journey!
Thanks for uploading it in 1440p quality!
thank you for providing not only a beautiful video but an interesting and informative narrative to boot! I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering what kind of research you were doing though, care to fill us in?
This video looks like it could have aired on Discovery channel or The Science channel. Really cool stuff!
Excellent work. I wish you good health and success.
The hull is strong enough to ride up on the ice, and heavy enough to break the ice under its weight, against the bouyancy of the ocean. And, the hull is shaped for that purpose. The powerplant is also sized accordingly.
Very interesting, thanks for posting
That was amazing, thank you so much for sharing this with us. :)
That was beautiful Cassandra
Well narrated
awesome video!!!!!! thanks for sharing!!!
It was 115° here today thank you for this post.
This is quite awesome. I hope I can do this someday!
Super job. Thanks.
Awesome video
The best thing to protect ross see and more, is to leave it alone.
When the ice refreezes, it release its Latent Heat of Fusion, thus warming the water and slowing the refreezing. And the refreezing of the Arctic has been slowing over the last 5+ years.
Ice breakers may cause the ice caps to melt a little quicker. If you cut a path through ice it creates a weak line through the ice which will break before the surrounding ice. if there are mutiple lines it must have some effect.
I love how it looked like the ship would turn around sometimes as if to say "NOPE, screw that way. I'm gonna go this way instead" lol
Damn that would be such an awesome job/hobby to do!!
Excellent work Cassy !!! The little sister from Goffstown ;)
THAT---WAS---AWESOME! Wow.
This is awesome !!!
This is amazing.
Openings - as shown in the vid - are a great opportunity for animals to fish.. and reading your comment, that smaller chunks melt faster.. lol, in your cocktail maybe, but in the water under freezing point it just doesn't happen.. :)
Is it possible you could get stuck? If you did what do you do?
you call the russians
If I was on that ship and had to hear your voice for 2 months I would have jumped overboard
really interesting video, thanks
realy fantastic.....
awesome video
Well done!
Fabulous - great captures and edit. What an adventure -- I envy you. Were you able to mount the camera permanently on the bridge?
Interesting comments. One of these days I'll study the increase in reflectivity caused by a 60' beamed icebreaker vs. that naturally occurring in leads, polynyas, cracks, etc. Then I'll study the length of time a track stays open when the wind blows; which has been known to happen in Antarctica. One of these days.
beautiful.
Marvellous. Thank you!
@Nik: awesome music.
The rendering time on this must of taken well over a day or so and so much footage!! Great use of a time lapse :)
This is a great angle. It looks weird at this speed, at some points it looks like the boat was actually a hovercraft :)
very nice, ty for sharing
thanks for the awesome video with amazing narration, well thought, great compilation, enjoyed journey with ice and penguins.. any sign you saw a whale passing by.
When it breaks through the ice, water rushes in to fill in the gaps. And there isn't much "solid ice", most of it is just large plates of ice. Icebreaker ships break them up and water either carries the two pieces away or put them back together.
Very awesome!!!
Beautiful:)) Great narration!
Amazing - would love to do this one day
maravilloso .........gracias
Not sure why you settled on this aspect ratio to display the grandeur of the continent.
Nice job!!
very relaxing
If a boat went this fast we could see the world like never before :)
I love this. Thanks so much for making it and posting. I will be aboard the Palmer in late Jan through Feb. I'm really curious what you used to film this. I'm also curious about what Internet access is like on the ship as my job aboard will be Outreach, and I'm having a tough time getting that info.
GR8 video!
I once saw a similar video of trying to break through ice in Far Northeast Russia(Siberia) and it seemed tougher.
Awesome vid
thanks, you did a good job
I show this video to every new person I meet. It really helps...........to break the ice XD
oh and awesome job!
