It’s one hell of a cool story. Shortly after this photo was taken the drone smashed into the massive rock wall on the right & slid hundreds of ft into the inky black water of the fjord. I assumed we would never see it again.. we didn’t even know where it actually hit beyond the splash noise & echo sound of it scrapping down the wall. But we felt compelled to give it a try... and somehow my colleague @_ryanhill_ spotted what he thought was a reflective lens 20-30 under the water caught on a small ledge. Remember these fjords are deep, dark and often the steep walls continue all the way to the bottom.
Ryan got on a dry suit and dove down with just the dim light from a Waterproof headlamp and somehow retrieved it.. at the time it felt like a miracle & honestly rewarding enough just to have recovered the drone at all let alone in fading light. But I knew that salt water damage was going to wreck havoc on the internal memory we shot this on & the likelihood of data recovery was slim.
We quickly put it under fresh water to remove the corrosive salt & removed everything we could so it could dry out as much as possible with some silica packets & heat to help remove moisture.
Back in the states I made a few calls & was able to finally send it in to see if someone could revive this thing & recover the images.. it took almost 4 months but by some miracle & genius technology we were able to rebuild the files. This is the first I’ve seen of these images since it went down. Thanks for making that dive @_ryanhill_ & next time fly a little safer. 😉

Drone was a DJI mavic Zoom if you are wondering.. and no this ain’t an Ad. Just one cool story. 🤙
