Going to Alaska and want to get off the usual tourist trails? This drone video will give you a taste of what you'll find, especially if you travel around the time of the summer solstice. "Solstice" (4:30, high def) from SturgeFilm offers "an aerial wander through the land of the midnight sun."

All the videography was done with the Phantom 2 quadcopter drone and the GoPro Hero 3+ in the areas around Anchorage and Wrangell, Alaska. The drone navigates not just above forests but through ravines, over lakes and streams and down hiking trails. Stirring!
