I AM VITAL

AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :

Award-winning contributor Florian Ledoux used some of his best drone footage from earth's polar regions to put together this outstanding piece which won DVOW in February 2020. He skillfully uses the backdrop of shrinking glaciers and melting icebergs to remind us how these eco-systems - which hold the vast majority of the earth's freshwater - are to global climate change. The video features jaw-dropping footage from Greenland, Antarctica, the Canadian province of Nunavut, the Svalbard Islands of Northern Norway, and Iceland.

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:

Water is necessary for the survival of all living things on the Earth's surface. Around our planet, it appears in many forms, liquid, gas or solid. Almost 70% of the freshwater on our planet is held within glaciers and ice-sheets. We take water for granted, even though it is something we all depend on. Our future, amongst other challenges, depends on the capability of preserving the ice. Simply as we cannot live without the air, many species cannot live without ice. This short documentary was filmed in Greenland, Antarctica, Nunavut, Svalbard, Iceland, over 3 years.
