Remembering a time when "self isolation" meant something like this.... ⁠
⁠
Our thoughts are with you all during this challenging time. Stay safe out there, so we can all return to adventures like these soon. ⁠Meanwhile, our team continues to pull together our film, remote editing and pushing forward. We can’t wait to share it with you. ⁠

"The bottom line is this: climate change is affecting you and me right here, right now, in the places where we live. But by working together, we can fix it. Sure, it's a daunting problem. Nobody knows that more than us climate scientists. But we can't give in to despair. We have to go out and actively look for the hope that we need, that will inspire us to act. And that hope begins with a conversation today". ⁠
- Katharine Hayhoe ⁠

Life seems to be a little crazy at present with the global issues and worries caused by Covid-19. Here, a little throwback to simpler times when all we had to worry about was putting one foot in front of the other and getting down the mountain safely after filming. ⁠

Our team filmed on a precipice overlooking the Taconnaz glacier with Christian Vincent and other glaciologists from The Institute for Geosciences and Environmental research as they conducted research on the depreciation of the area.⁠

Director @therealcraigleeson interviewing our friend and guide @sierra_dave_t. Dave is an instrumental part of our film team and an incredibly experienced mountaineer and paragliding pilot. What started out as an attempt to simply give Craig a taste of para-alpinism soon turned into a full on training endeavour, ensuring that Craig was equipped with the experience and skills necessary to take him into the mountains to film the effects of climate change. ⁠

No doubt about it, this is the best way to get down from summit! Being able to view the landscape from this angle gives a whole new appreciation for mountains and glaciers.⁠ Our Producer @malcolmgwood piloting a speed wing in the Alps.

Director @therealcraigleeson being briefed by guide @sierra_dave_t as he gets to grips with learning how to cope on the mountains - a task he is anything but familiar with. Our film follows Craig as he learns what it takes to be a mountain athlete, and hears from them first hand how global warming is making these sports risky in increasingly unstable environments. ⁠

We can be found capturing shots at all times on expedition, from morning to night. It is amazing how much views of the mountains can change in different light, and here you can see the light snowfall from the night before melting as soon as the sun rises. ⁠

The team in action filming mountain time lapses. There is something so special about watching the sun rise and set in these places. ⁠

In New Zealand's Southern Alps, glaciers are being tinged pink due to suspected air pollution from the Australian bushfires. Air pollution is a known cause of glacier depreciation, and it is an incredibly sad day when one environmental disaster can have further detrimental effects such as this, on glaciers so far away. The Australian bushfires that are currently occurring are capturing the attention of the world, as a devastating realisation that our planet is indeed... on fire. ⁠
