New video footage of the massive A81 iceberg that broke away from the Brunt Ice Shelf in Antarctica in January has been released. While before and after satellite images were released of the iceberg when it broke away, the new footage shows the massive scale of the iceberg for the first time.

Recorded by a team at the British Antarctic Survey leaving the Halley Research Station, they witnessed the iceberg begin its journey into the Weddell Sea. The Halley Research Station used to be located on the part of the ice now floating away in the form of the A81 iceberg itself. It’s continuing to move and is currently 150km south of where it broke from the ice shelf.

The European Space Agency‘s (ESA) satellite Copernicus was able to provide detailed before and after images of the broken-off iceberg after working closely with glaciologists at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS).

Photographer and filmmaker Mathieu Stern enjoys buying, modifying and even making his own weird lenses. He dreamt of his latest project for two years and now he’s finally made it – a lens made of ice. He traveled all the way to Iceland to be able to turn his idea into reality.

Making the ice lens came with a lot of challenges, but Mathieu managed to overcome them. He kindly shares with DIYP some photos and videos he took with this ice lens, as well as the story of how he made it. And it’s all really cool (no pun intended)!

What started as a journey to capture the icebergs and splendor of the Arctic and Antarctica has become a photographer’s attempt to battle climate change with her photos.

Camille Seaman spent a decade photographing icebergs and wildlife in some of the harshest environments on Earth until she decided to stop her polar trips in 2011, as there was almost no ice left.

“There was nothing on the radar for ice,” said the San Francisco bases photographer, adding that they could have continued sailing to the North Pole had they had enough fuel.

“I can’t say making a photo is very important. In fact I feel sad it’s all I can do. But that’s what I can do so that’s what I’m gonna do”.

While the evidence that humans are responsible for the global climate change is overwhelming, even non-believers will enjoy Seaman’s fascinating photos.
