2 6 C a m e r a At first it was important to feel, sense and get acquainted with this landscape that I had never seen before. As I did so, I repeatedly wondered if it was in fact the right decision to take this technical equipment into the far north – into this white emptiness! Our ship passed a barren, fjord-dominated landscape, littered with glacier tongues. The bow appeared almost to carve the water that lay beneath and in front of us - water that seemed likely to freeze to ice at any moment, given the perilously low temperatures. Daniel unpacked the D-21 and photographed the first test shots, using the ship’s electrical network for a power supply. The SRW-1 was well packed in a polystyrene-insulated aluminum box, to guarantee utmost protection against all kinds of weather conditions. We mounted the D-21 to the bow of the ship - not an easy job, I had to admit. Maneuvering the weight of the camera and Master Zoom across the wet steel deck of the swaying ship all by myself was a real challenge. Once mounted, the weight of the camera combined with the widely-spread tripod legs resulted in a balancing effect with regard to the ship’s vibrations – vibrations we could not have anticipated. The first images followed. The adventures of the following days far exceeded our imaginations and our wildest dreams. The ship was groping its way north and leaving the 81st parallel behind; a distance of less than 1,000km now separated us from the North Pole – 1,000km of fog, snow and ice! We observed atmospheric lighting displays of incredible intensity - compositions of light that made us forget time and space. But we also witnessed an incident that, most likely, has not been documented in such a way before – cannibalism among polar bears. On a huge ice floe, we discovered an adult, male polar bear that had just killed another animal of the same species and was starting to devour it – a tragic sight that demonstrated the hopelessness of the polar bears and the shortage of their food. It was exactly what we were there to document. The captain rammed the ship through ice almost a meter thick and managed to get us within 200m of the cadaver. The killer polar bear escaped to a safe distance and observed us while we, in turn, did the same! In the meantime, a white fox and the very rarely seen ivory seagull were busy with the cadaver. At daybreak, the starving polar bear returned and we successfully captured incredible images. Further south we found a dead finback in a fjord – for polar bears, the equivalent of a well-stocked fridge! There, we met colleagues from the BBC who were visiting this spot to document the dead finback. Our BBC colleagues were more than a little astonished to see a D-21 in use up there in the far north. After ten surreal days in the Arctic we returned to our own world, with images and impressions we had never expected.
(f.l.t.r.) Kai Schubert, Hans Fischer, Daniel Delbeck It was an experiment, moreover a successful one. Our expectations were surpassed by far – not only due to the unique experiences, but also due to the perfect functioning of the technical equipment, even under the most hostile conditions. The camera never failed or refused to work, despite temperatures that varied between lower plus degrees and minus 18 degrees, let alone the dampness and vibrations aboard ship! The optical viewing system was an invaluable advantage. To film a documentary with this technology and under these extreme conditions was daring and risky. However, we are more than pleased with the results and would not hesitate to set out on a similar adventure again. Hans Fischer
