Films shown here include footage of AirCams (aerial camera platforms) flying Monument Valley, Lake Powell, Valley of the Gods, the National Parks of southeastern Utah, and the Adirondack Park of northern New York.

Some of the films shown here were produced while flying to take water samples from 520 lakes in the Adirondack Park to study nitrogen deposition, a component of acid rain. Additional footage explores the bogs and wetlands of the Adirondack Park, landscapes that are more usually seen in northern Quebec and Labrador.

The AirCams used in these films were built for the purpose of landing in lakes as small as 300 feet in diameter to take water samples in wilderness areas.  The AirCam has proven to be a very capable research tool, but also an extraordinary platform from which to film and view our natural world.
