Stunning, outstanding, got no words to describe this beauty ❤😢❤

Witnessing the breathtaking beauty Mother Earth so generously offers us—majestic mountains, lush forests, shimmering waters—it fills my heart with awe. But then, the realization sets in, and it brings tears to my eyes... Knowing that day by day, we are stripping away this gift, destroying what we should cherish the most. How did we let it come to this? 💔

What a video!!! Bravo. Yet to watch, one 30-sec no skip, another with skip after 5-sec, then a whole minute into the video hit with two more skip after 5-sec. Mind blown! Now I’ve spent several minutes more typing this message. YT is really pushing past the limit. SMH.

[shubhammourya]

[nfmoments]

this was such an intriguing look at Svalbard, thanks for sharing Denis's work! i have to say though, while the scenery is breathtaking, i can’t help but wonder if the emphasis on its beauty overshadows the serious issues of climate change impacting these fragile ecosystems. would love to hear others' thoughts!
