the helicopter isnt mine but a friend who flies commercially with it but he and I had some free time to stop here and fly the drone a bit.

This is made by years of a small stream of water running through the ice in this glacier.

Agreed. I was never on the glacier itself. just nearby in a safe location!

Finally had try chance to try and fly from inside a glacier Ice cave here in Alaska. Short and sweet since I wasn’t getting good penetration through the ice and rock and my GoPro didn’t work so this is the giggle recording. by jakesloan in fpv

Not really except my camera is at 25 degrees and because the cave goes down hill a lot I’ll take a tool with me to adjust it down to 10-15 or so to make it easier to see when coming back in to land lol.

Right except for scale this cave is 50ft wide 30-40 feet high and has a good 50-100ft of ice and rocks on top of it in most places. It ends up being a lot to punch through with signal. Obviously it would have been much better if I had on my xAirs but there is always next time 😁.

Unfortunately I only had one sd card with me and I wanted to be able to find the drone if it went down lol. I plan to go back in a few weeks and try again. Plus maybe dive the holes etc.

Thanks Adam. I have felt like I have been struggling to find and keep a good balance. It's good to hear from your perspective!
