The glacier near Klausenpass (Canton of Uri, Switzerland) is dying.
30 years ago there was no glacier lake but a mighty glacier.

Nowadays there are only remains of this glacier covered with stones and pebbles.

But at least the vicinity is beautiful so hiking up to the small lake is worth it!

Btw: My drone also died there due to a stupid pilot error   Don't ask ...
Therefore some material has only a low quality because I had to recover it from my tablet.

Highly cinematic. Music is a serene accompaniment to landscape clips. Some skillful aviation as to skimming water and proximity to cliffs. All in all, kudos for a professional presentation.

End of a glacier? Amazing footage ... you got pretty close to some ice there! Brave flying, and powerful footage.

Hi Matthew,
glad you like it
Obviously my description for this thread was gone, so here it is again (and on top of the video also):
The glacier near Klausenpass (Canton of Uri, Switzerland) is dying.
30 years ago there was no glacier lake but a mighty glacier.
Nowadays there are only remains of this glacier covered with stones and pebbles.

And  my drone died there also - it crashed into a waterfall with no chance of recovery.

Thank you - it was a pretty intense flying because of the proximity but it worked

Hi Tom, thank you for the beautiful and scenic video, if it was not for you no one would be aware of this glaciers demise other than you locals. Every piece of video evidence helps highlight the crisis we are in. Keep up the good work.

That's stunning footage, what were your Gimbal Sensitivity Settings and Filming Mode?

Really sorry to hear about your drone :-(

Thanks Bussty!
Gimbal had standard factory settings - I didn't change anything.
Drone was flown in standard mode - tripod mode is too slow so I used the sticks very carefully.
Used H265 in 4k for the footage of my first visit there, and chached footage from my tablet from the last flight.
