Two Arctic/North Pole scientific expeditions. Take your time and enjoy the Arctic! This beauty is fragile. Climate changes and global warming, you know, do gain ground.
Video #1: Jean-Louis Etienne’s Generali Arctic Observer
A famous French Arctic explorer Jean-Louis Etienne’s The North Pole balloon crossing from Spitsbergen to Siberia’s Yakutia in April of 2010. Check out the Generali Arctic Observer expedition website. More info on his landing and rescue operation in Siberia’s Yakutia, north from the village of Batagai, Verkhoyansky region, at eYakutia.com.
Video #2: North Pole + Nuclear Icebreaker Yamal + Magic of Arctic Ice
From Russia’s Chukotka via the North Pole to Scandinavia by the Russian nuclear powered ice-breaker “Yamal”. You may also want to go to the North Pole. Hurry up! The Arctic is melting fast. It sounds like a joke, but, unfortunately, it is not.
If you can recommend more videos with the awesome Arctic views, please, share. Leave your links in comments.

He is everywhere on the Internet, on Yahoo!, Google, Flickr, YouTube & many other sites. His main website is MediaMentor.ca.
