Glaciers of Ausangate, Peru

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

For drone's eye views of massive glaciers in the Andes, look no further than this epic aerial video by top contributor and pilot Jturner.  He took a five day trek on Ausangate in Peru, whose peak sits 6.4k meters above sea level (almost 21k ft.).  Using a DJI Mavic Pro drone, he was able to capture some incredible footage of the glaciers which cover this mountain near Cusco, one of the highest peaks in the Western Hemisphere.  Ausangate is the highest peak in the masif known as the Cordillera Vilcanota.

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

This is my first drone video that I made. It is a short video I made from DJI Mavic pro drone footage taken while trekking in the Peruvian Andes. It was a 5 day trek around the spectacular Ausangate mountain (20,945ft). All of this footage was taken during a single flight. I flew the mavic to its maximum flight altitude 1600ft and explored the immense ice fall that was above our campsite. The drone was flone over 17,000ft which greatly reduced flight time because of the thin air. We organized our trek with Peru Summit.
