In Polar Extremes we venture across the globe, from the arctic realms of Ellesmere Island and Greenland, through baking deserts and bustling cities, down to the blistering cold depths of Antarctica. On these travels we discover the history of earths poles, from mile thick ice sheets, to tropical poles teaming with life. We learn how the earth has changed, and what our planet’s history can teach us about our future.

This production involved over 3 months of filming spread out over almost a year. Travelling to the USA, Canada, Greenland, Chile, Argentina, and Antarctica I worked as drone operator, camera assistant, and sound recordist.
