from someone who could go to these places: We shouldn't! If you want to help preserve it, stay in your home region. These long distance travels should not be conducted as entertaining trips by more people, we need to reduce these trips. Trust me, I would love to go, but I'm opposed to it. For science yes, otherwise, stop the tourism, save the fuel and stop disturbing the bits and pieces of wildlife that are left. Spend your money on something that HELPS the ecosphere, not destroy it further!!!
Great photography--but you know what else is part of "taking" your viewer there? Sound. Not as in "soundtrack," but the actual sounds (including silence, the most underrated sound in our generation).
Yes, the music is way too loud. It completely wipes out the silence and takes away part of the photographic impressions. I even had to turn the sound off, because the loud music combined with my tinnitus made it an agony to listen to their explanations.
So many travel vloggers totally ruin their films with (usually awful) overbearing music, how much more moving would this film have been with powerful actuality sound . Sound is well over 60%of a films impact, spend £1,000 on a decent camera, spend more on a decent microphone and collect clean actuality sound and know how to manipulate sound in the edit. Oh yea and be as good a photographer as this guy!
Not to mention the patronizing narration . . . This style is often found on videos aimed at kids. However, NEWSFLASH! Even kids like to be addressed as people, not as clueless idiots. Don't condescend to your audience. The action & the story either stand on their own or they don't.
More People should know the joy of having your camera out, focused, and pointing at the right area, for that beautiful shot. It is truly an amazing experience.
How beautiful your photographs are. The capturing of an ever changing landscape and all its wildlife. I don't think you could ever tire of it. So peaceful to watch instead of noisy tourists. Thankyou📷🎥
I went on a Alaska cruise and it was the most amazing place. The best part was seeing the glaciers calving and the sounds they make while waiting for a piece to fall just amazed me. I can't wait to go back someday ❤
B E A U T I F U L ... every single frame, every single note! Thank you for creating this. Looks as if every single animal and iceberg were auditioning to be in your movie. Well done sir.
Joshua's work is extraordinary, so meticulous, so particular that we hardly see it in other photographers. Each photo is his signature. Needless to doubt. Congratulations.
I've had the pleasure of once filming in the Arctic and it is spectacular. This is a VERY nice piece visually, but I agree the music is mixed too loud and at times should be absent and the sounds of the Arctic should be heard. Still, a very nicely done video with amazing footage...and I'd love to meet you up there someday!
I could only dream about doing what you do, breathtaking photography and whenever i have a bad day i watch this video. Thank you for this and everything you do, it means the world to me
Bravo! This is what public television used to be like --- great quality, imaginative work, integrity --- before it irretrievably went into the eternal Hades of narcissism. Great music! Thank you.
@@donreed Don I am not for riots or looting but let’s be honest not e everyone is treated fairly in society, especially by law enforcement and the justice system. We will never have a peaceful society if there is not at least something close to equal justice.
Josh, you’re a man after my own heart, 100% with you on all you said. I’ve only been to Sápmi (Lapland) in northern Norway, but that was already a fantastically photogenic country, even without the icebergs. Thanks for sharing, mate!
I have become so enthralled by calving glaciers and icebergs on TH-cam. I get to go on a glacier cruise next year and am so excited. Im doing all the research and preparation I can find to do. I so hope to see at least one good sized calving. Your pictures are absolutely amazing!
Bravo Joshua, Your capture @ 0:57 is of a most extraordinary looking Berg. I enjoy seeing all that the Arctic has on offer but I really fancy the blue banded bergs.
One of the highlights of my life was the time I spent working in the Canadian Arctic in the early 70s. I have experienced few things more exhilarating than exiting the tent in the morning to find the tracks of a massive polar bear which had walked completely around it sometime in the night before strolling off across the tundra. So glad it must have had a full tummy.
Seals look like they would be the most ultimate of comfortable pillows. For example, at 4:03 look at that seal laying comfy on that rock that couldn't possibly appear more uncomfortable. I mean if they can turn such awkwardly uncomfortable rocks into cozy spots to relax imagine how awesome it would be to cozy up to one of them like it was a big blubber filled pillow and just watch the clouds float by as it then proceeds to rip you apart for treating it like a one.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! This is SUCH AMAZING, beautiful work! Taking us on a trip we cannot ourselves go on. Your work is simply BEAUTIFUL!!!! THANK YOU!
Hi Joshua. Thanks for this truly wonderful video. Must admit it made me feel good to be alive :). The title of the video did attract me but I hasten to add that the WHOLE content was just breath taking. Oh to be a photographer :) and I know its not easy work. You also have a new subscriber. Please keep up your inspiring work. Most sincerely JF ( UK )
Superior photography ! You have learned your craft well. Been a dream my whole life to go to Polar regions. It will remain a dream because my life path will never allow me to go. Thanks so much for sharing !!
3:16 I'm fascinated by the patterns and textures in those reddish rocks on the right there. Looks like meat! Beautiful images and film here, thanks for uploading!
There was an amazing artist who loved to paint ice and snow , he made trips to northern Canada and Alaska. He went on a Canadian Icebreaker when it was on a research mission to the far North. Crew kept seeing him turn his head down and look behind him through his legs so they asked him what he was doing. He asked them what they saw when they looked at the snow and they said it’s white with a little blue sometimes. He told them to look little me he’d been looking and they were amazed to see purple, brown, yellow, pink, blue, so many other colours and they were amazed. He said he’d be up at bow of the ship painting and he’d see crew members frequently looking upside down . I found this amazing and it proved to be true. 😳 I’m not sure if it tricks the mind or the eye but it does.
Absolutely stunning. Thank you so much for your time and expertise. And, thank you for sharing. We are so blessed to live on this fabulous planet!!! Luv U ,$
That is pretty surreal images and videos you have shared here. I think your final statement.."Come and experience it for yourself" hit the nail on the head..ty Joshua.
Superb photography and nicely crisp editing of an epic experience. I cruised once way back in Glacier Bay (youtube leeder - "Frozen Fantasy") but captured only a fraction of the majesty which epitomises the frozen Arctic. Your ship and cruising concept was just right for that amazing place! Lucky viewers that you have shown them the incomparable majesty of your so-close-to-nature travels there.
Throughout the video I was thinking, "Do not say anything about climate change/global warming. Do not say anything about climate change/global warming." So, I thank you for not bringing it up and sticking strictly to photography. This was an amazing video. Thanks.
So intriguing and beautiful. I just want to be able to experience such wonder in person but happy to see it through their eyes. Such a wonderful experience.
This was absolutely amazing, and your photography is just perfect. Thankyou so much for sharing the beauty of a place I'd love to go to, but am not likely to get to see in person 💖💖💖💖💖
3:00 - the difference between 'just a photo' and tack-sharp is most often a tripod. Even the steadiest hands have difficulty taking tack-sharp images without a tripod. Glad to see you sometimes use one. I seldom go anywhere without the manfrotto.
Thank you for taking me to a place that would never be possible for me to see in my lifetime.
Best comment
Yes. Thankyou Jacob
Why isn't it possible?

Lol at all the armchair critics. You’ve been presented with a work of art just as the creator chose to deliver it. Get over yourselves.
@@mil5411 Not really. Those places have their own sounds, which are lost both through adding a soundtrack and with your suggestion.
More People should know the joy of having your camera out, focused, and pointing at the right area, for that beautiful shot. It is truly an amazing experience.
How beautiful your photographs are. The capturing of an ever changing landscape and all its wildlife. I don't think you could ever tire of it. So peaceful to watch instead of noisy tourists. Thankyou📷🎥

You really should think about going there some day, you seem to appreciate it.
@@tigergreg8 I really hope one day i can. Thank you
Blown away by this entire video...excellent! Thank you, Diane
So beautiful I dropped some tears. I did nature photography in the Canadian Northwest years ago. This art takes my breath away.
Bravo! This is what public television used to be like --- great quality, imaginative work, integrity --- before it irretrievably went into the eternal Hades of narcissism. Great music! Thank you.
Agree. 🇺🇸
...and social justice & politics.
@@GuantanamoBayBarbie2 True. Oh well. They will find out once again that one should be very, very careful what one wishes for.
@@donreed Don I am not for riots or looting but let’s be honest not e everyone is treated fairly in society, especially by law enforcement and the justice system. We will never have a peaceful society if there is not at least something close to equal justice.

Norther polar regions are stunning with wildlife, habitation, ice, and people. Definitely a wonder to be humbled by.
Wow great photography, how beautiful to watch, almost felt like i was there with them. Thankyou for sharing your talents with us
Beautifully done video. The pictures of the icebergs look like sculptures. The feeling of being there must be incredible.
Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful!!! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to live vicariously through your lens. ❤
Bravo Joshua, Your capture @ 0:57 is of a most extraordinary looking Berg. I enjoy seeing all that the Arctic has on offer but I really fancy the blue banded bergs.
I suppose it could never get dull photographing there as the landscape is ever changing.
Awesome photography. There’s something beautiful and majestic about large icebergs. Thank you for sharing 👍❄️💨🌬
Everything about this was beautiful! Thank you for sharing your gift!
What a wonderful share ❤ Absolutely mesmerizing views and the music really brings it home. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!
Magnificent! I love the small villages along the Alaskan coast and to see the images of ice on the water is a work of art.
Every picture is a masterpiece. And music only emphasizes that. Thank you.
These are some of the best Polar photographs I've ever seen!
One of the highlights of my life was the time I spent working in the Canadian Arctic in the early 70s.

...and even gladder (?!) that it did not have a doggy bag big enough to put you in for later John! Haha
Your photography is excellent. You capture beautiful moments and bring beauty to our eyes. Thank you Joshua!
Gorgeous!!!! Thank you for the beautiful trip!!!

What an incredible video. The ice , the village and the animals so beautiful.
OMG!! 3:30 Adorable Little Person alert!!!!!

Spectacular. Thanks for sharing this with us amateur photographers… 🙏🏼
Amazing footage. So beautiful and so interesting. Thank you.

Very nice ad! And the Arctic looks like an incredible place to visit!
Absolutely Stunning, love watching these, but bittersweet at the amount of calving going on, thanks for sharing!
You guys are amazing photographers, i love your work.
Absolutely stunning. Thank you so much for your time and expertise. And, thank you for sharing. We are so blessed to live on this fabulous planet!!! Luv U ,$
0:41 Yeah, yeah, yeah...just past the yellow house, make a right at the red one and I'm in the blue house!!!!
Wow... That's absolutely beautiful. Thanks for your work. It's great!
Just absolutely stunning the views that you have captured simply magical and the audio was great as well .
That is pretty surreal images and videos you have shared here. I think your final statement.."Come and experience it for yourself" hit the nail on the head..ty Joshua.
At 5:19 what are those defined long blue streaks in the berg? Are those air pockets. Kinda cool, if you ask me . . . :-)
uhm.. cracks? lol.
Are they cracks or are you just guessing too? :-|
It's not cracks. It's older ice. Older ice is harder and takes on a more "blue" colour.

I was very fortunate to have travelled all over the planet but I never got to see any of those!! Great pics!
Beautiful... Thank you for sharing!!!
So intriguing and beautiful. I just want to be able to experience such wonder in person but happy to see it through their eyes. Such a wonderful experience.
What's the song / soundtrack called?? Beautiful video all round
The music is called too loud and annoying.

Wonderful video! I love the Antarctic, and icebergs, so amazingly beautiful. Thank you!
It’s absolutely stunning! I would love to spend at least a year there.
Relaxing sounds of waves. So soothing !!
wonderful work my friend...super video..great audio
Fantastic! Thanks for taking us along!
Beautiful Imagery ... makes me wanna go see some ice.
Hi Joshua! Wow you really Got the EYE!!! Absolutely MAGIC and INSPIRING - Thank you for showing me!!!!!
Wow...beautiful photographs! Beauty of nature !
Fantastic views and photos. Nature’s bounty..
Thanks for sharing your beautiful experiences.
Wow.. Amazing footage! Thanks for sharing Joshua!!😻😻😘
Videos are great for showing so many features of places like this. But sometimes a still photo just offers so much more and has that WOW factor.
Beautiful video of an amazing location. Thank you for sharing it...
Absolutely stunning, thank you Joshua...
After doing some research I’ve learned it is incredibly easy to weaken an iceberg and improve your chances of catching it collapsing.
Bravo! Exciting images, videos and music.
