I'm enjoying all the threads you are posting.
These places almost seem unreal to me. So dramatic, beautiful, yet unhospitable.

The first is pure eye candy.
Cold!
How does your drone cope with very low temperatures such as here?

Hi, Simone.
The drone is coping very well in low temperatures, the problem is the batteries. They don't like to be cold. So the solution is to keep them warm before flying. Either in a warm car or in a pocket near your body. The first picture is taken at -11C.  The biggest problem is the fingers. :)

Agree about the fingers, operating the drone with gloves is very tricky.
