Our island is stuck, surrounded by a Frozen ocean!

We don't get good ice every year this far out in the archipelago. When the ocean freezes strong enough to carry us and even an atv, life gets much easier.
The hardest part of the year is when we can't use our boats due to surface of the water freezing but not being strong enough to walk or drive on. This is called "menföre" in Swedish (not even sure if there is such a word in english..?).

Back when I was a child and even further back, almost every winter had ice strong enough to travel upon but nowadays the climate doesn't guarantee cold enough winters in southern Finland. This means that every now and then when we finally get a colder winter and ice, we sure enjoy it fully :)

My poor drone had been sitting in its bag for a while when I finally got it updated (and my own drone-pilot papers) and ready to fly.
Have a look at some winter'n'ice drone videos!

What a wonderful sky view! Amazing landscape! Never been in Finland... BTW I loved you sliding intro it kind of reminded me the sport Curling! Ahaha
Let's wait for another footage of your freshly free dusted drone ;)

Great video!

Hello Acid and thanks for the support! It feels really good to be back (everytime I return after a break XD)
All is well in the archipelago. I'm gonna make more content both with camera and drone and I'll check out the Drone community for sure!
