This movie was shot during our 20 days trip to Antarctica in December 2014 to January 2015. We started from Ushuaia in Argentina and went to Port Williams in Chile, rounded Cape Horn and crossed the Drake Passage towards the Melchior Islands in Antarctica. We spent 16 days in the Antarctic and got to experience the most amazing scenery and wildlife before we returned back to Ushuaia. Filmed with GoPro HERO3+ Black Edition and DJI Phantom 2, edited with Final Cut Pro X. Music from Music Bed with rights. Interested in the raw footage, do not hesitate to contact me.

The iframe embed method loads a entire website from the video host. A YouTube embed page is a whopping 561.9 kb. So your page is basically loading another website inside your website for every video you embed. This is very bad for performance reasons especially on slow connections. ARVE Pro loads a chunk of HTML with useful SEO data and a thumbnail image instead. The video is only loaded when the user clicks on the thumbnail so your site will finish loading fast.
