Travel video news

If you're going to test technology and filmmaking equipment, Jimmy Chin is a good guy to give it to. In this video. the award winning photographer/filmmaker �� not to mention all-around bad ass �� heads out to Greenland with fellow adventurer  Kit DesLauriers to explore remote regions, climb mountains, and make ski descents. Lucky for us, he brought a DJI drone along to capture some of the best moments, which you'll find in the fantastic video below.

As we steam straight on towards the start of the 2018-2019 Antarctic ski and climbing season, this video takes us back to last year when a team of North Face climbers traveled down to Queen Maud Land to make some first ascents on several rock walls and snowcapped peaks. TNF has slowly been releasing short teaser videos about this expedition and today they bring us one that shows just how difficult and demanding the weather conditions there can be. Climbing in the Antarctic isn't easy, even for the likes of Conrad Anker , Jimmy Chin , and Alex Honnold .

The North Face continues its series of videos about the team of climbers that went to the Antarctic last year with another short, but sweet, clip giving us a glimpse of their experience. This time out, we get a sense of the awe and wonder they felt in this expansive place, far from civilization, and about as remote and wild as you can get on our planet. The sense of scale is incredible, even in the short clip. Most of these videos are just a tease for what will likely be a much longer documentary, but they are still wonderful to watch. Check it out below.

Last year, The North Face sent a team consisting of the world's top climbers �� including Jimmy Chin , Conrad Anker , and Alex Honnold �� down to Antartica for an expedition. The group managed to notch 15 summits on an array of peaks found in Queen Maud Land, including some first ascents. Now, the company is releasing a series of videos that bring some insights into what this expedition was like, the first of which you can find below. The first video serves as a teaser of sorts, showing off the team and the landscapes that they're dealing with. This being Antarctica, things are cold, harsh, and unforgiving. Still, these are six of the best mountaineers and rock climbers on the planet, so they're ready to go. The second video gives us some insights from TNF athlete Savannah Cummins , who describes what it was like for her to travel to the Antarctic to climb as part of this team. To say she was a bit nervous visiting such a remote and wild place would be an understatement. 

We're nearing the release of the new climbing film Free Solo , which documents Alex Honnold's climb up El Capitan without using ropes. That was a herculean display of skill and strength that perhaps no one else in the world could have pulled off. But in order to make a film of that historic ascent, there had to be other climbers on the rock face. So just how exactly did a team of cameramen, directed by none other than Jimmy Chin , capture all of the impressive footage? In a new article that appeared in National Geographic magazine and has now been posted online, writer Peter Gwin sits down with Chin and Honnold to find out how this groundbreaking documentary was made. Needless to say, in order to capture the footage he would need, Chin �� who is a world class climber in his own right �� would bring on an entire team of amazing climbers to assist with the project. But those climbers needed more skills than just being able to ascend El Cap quickly and safely. They also needed ...
