Climbing frozen waterfalls at night by the light of a drone

The work of photographer Thomas Senf is the focus of a short video hosted by The Guardian, documenting the stunning lengths he’s gone through to shoot climbers scaling frozen waterfalls at night in the mountains of Norway. The landscape is a like a chandelier lit from within—a reef of glowing ice.

These include colored lights embedded in the stalactites, half a kilometer of electrical cabling coiled up and hidden out of sight behind the scenes, and a tiny drone buzzing around, creeping up for a close encounter with the climber in the second GIF, snapping photographs. The lighting set-up itself was designed by David Hedinger, perhaps best known for his work illuminating stage sets in the opera world.
