Thanks to those who are leaving kind comments. To clarify a few things: breaking the ice doesn't make it melt faster! We are breaking mostly seasonal ice, it melts and reforms every year. After we break through, it quickly resolidifies again. And for those curious about the valuable science we were doing, please visit my National Geographic blog or our cruise website. See the video description for links to the blogs.

she sounds lovely such a beautiful voice and well narrated

Great footage, informative narrative, thanks so much for taking time to put this together!

Thanks for all the comments, especially the kind ones. To clarify about the boat and flag: The boat is a United States National Science Foundation Ice Breaker called the Nathaniel B. Palmer. The boat was made in Louisiana and has some cute quirks. One of them is a flag on the front with a picture of a raccoon pointing. The flag allows us to see which way the wind is coming from relative to the movement of the boat... Thanks for watching!

Magnificient editing and video production, topped only by what you folks were actually doing out there! BRAVO to all involved, thanks for bringing this to us Cassandra!

This is a great example of the potential of KZread and how beautiful montages of someone's life.

You have captured brilliant footage and provided an eloquent narration. Congratulations!

I think it would be so awesome to explore the world without feeling the frigid cold or the intense heat of the barren. To go to places no one could survive and just explore. Freediving the trenches and the deepest depths of the oceans, exploring the insides of an erupting volcano without being obliterated by lava, the coldest paces on earth and walk through it as if it were a warm sunny day.

Cassandra... congratulations. This is one of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen.

Simply beautiful. Thank you for putting this up.

Thanks for posting this. It's amazing.

Thanks for taking the time to narrate this video and share it. A part of our wonderful and varied natural world I would never have had a glimpse of otherwise. And to witness so many types of sea ice.

That was gorgeous. Poetic, even.

Cassandra this video is amazing. Thank you for putting this together. I may never get to do this in person but you allowed me to go along with you.

Amazing video - thank you for educating me!

Amazing video with thoughtful scripting and editing - thanks for sharing!

Great to see! Thanks for uploading this :)

I was hypnotized the whole time to the video without being able to detach, I saw it to the end. It was mesmerizing! :)

Thanks for sharing this! It's fascinating to see the variations in the ice as you traveled around. Time-lapse video can give a snapshot view of what might seem like imperceptible change in real-time. Great narration as well. And the penguin conversations were a great ending!

Thanks for the wonderful work that you and your team are doing.

Thanks for sharing this with us. Even the video runs fast but really I felt as if I joined you in this trip.

I really enjoyed your narration, and it fits well with the video and music. Nice video!

You have a fantastic voice for narration!!

I can't imagine the armor the hull of this ship must have. Incredible!

Excellent work. I wish you good health and success.

fantastic. The only thing missing is the sound of the breaking, calving, shattering ice. would be nice to have a bit of that in there somewhere :)

GR8 video!

awesome video

I rather enjoyed that, great narration too. Would be interested to learn more about the project.

This is quite awesome. I hope I can do this someday!

The rendering time on this must of taken well over a day or so and so much footage!! Great use of a time lapse :)

Very awesome!!!

Well done!

Our hats off to you! We wouldn't have lasted a day under those conditions never mind 2 months. Great vid!

thank you for providing not only a beautiful video but an interesting and informative narrative to boot! I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering what kind of research you were doing though, care to fill us in?

Awesome vid

really interesting video, thanks

Thanks for uploading it in 1440p quality!

Nice job!!

oh and awesome job!

I also want to become a scientist and travel around and explore. And I will! :) Very cool video, well edited and interesting to watch!

realy fantastic.....

awesome, I was just looking for that!

I love this. Thanks so much for making it and posting. I will be aboard the Palmer in late Jan through Feb. I'm really curious what you used to film this. I'm also curious about what Internet access is like on the ship as my job aboard will be Outreach, and I'm having a tough time getting that info.

She has a beautiful, soothing voice!

Well narrated

thanks, you did a good job

It was 115° here today thank you for this post.

Love it!

very relaxing

THAT---WAS---AWESOME! Wow.

That was beautiful Cassandra

This video looks like it could have aired on Discovery channel or The Science channel. Really cool stuff!

amazing.

maravilloso .........gracias

Damn that would be such an awesome job/hobby to do!!

Fabulous - great captures and edit. What an adventure -- I envy you. Were you able to mount the camera permanently on the bridge?

Amazing - would love to do this one day

Excellent work Cassy !!! The little sister from Goffstown ;)

@Nik: awesome music.

Nice video

A wonderful film and great narration! From which harbor did you ship out?

this is absolutely mind-blowing! how would i be able to get onto an icebreaker? what steps would i need to take?

If I was on that ship and had to hear your voice for 2 months I would have jumped overboard

nice video

thanks for the awesome video with amazing narration, well thought, great compilation, enjoyed journey with ice and penguins.. any sign you saw a whale passing by.

Is it possible you could get stuck? If you did what do you do?

I love how it looked like the ship would turn around sometimes as if to say "NOPE, screw that way. I'm gonna go this way instead" lol

You got an amazing nice voice (:
