How long did you freefall for?

Looks like space flight

Re: How long did you freefall for?

We freefell for approx 31 sec before opening our chutes. The jump of a lifetime...

What the ....?

Is that water down there? Is there an
escalator that takes you back to the top??

This is frozen Sam Ford fjord. In summer time it's deep water everywhere.
The escalator in the back is a slow one. It took us 5hrs to reach the top.

Okay, so this is a frozen fjord? Do you have
a pre-determined place to land? Is there
somebody waiting for you on the bottom? I've
never seen anything like this - amazing!!

Re: What the ....?

Fortunatly we had the most comfortable landing zone we could dream of. We just had to pay attention to the wind direction (nothing could indicate it from the air) and also the distance to the ground while in freefall (the ground is just white and no references)
