Reaching for Light
Nature's greatest light show, closer than ever before
Combining scientific experiment with artistic vision, a team of high-altitude filming experts from the UK set out for the Arctic Circle to document the Northern Lights from closer than ever before. Driven by the need to push their technology to new heights, they aim to deploy an array of 360° cameras at the edge of space, inside the Aurora Borealis. Should they succeed, they seek to inspire the next generation of explorers, scientists and artists. But up against extreme environmental conditions, a narrowing launch window and untested technology, can they capture this fleeting natural wonder, or are they chasing moonbeams?
