Kalle Ljung is a lucky man with a drone. During a 16-day trip between December and January, the Swedish photographer and his 73-year-old father sailed through the Antarctic. It was already a special trip, but Ljung also happened to have his new DJI Phantom 2 along for the ride. Using a GoPro Hero3+Black Edition, he was able to record 250 minutes worth of stunning footage, full of glaciers, humpback whales, and superbly blue water. In an interview with Wired, he simply said, “I wanted to show the beauty but also the loneliness.” We’ll just say it here: we’re jealous.
