While many have paddled in the Arctic, very few have gone there in search of whitewater rapids and waterfalls. However, Aniol Serrasolses isnt like most people and continues to push the boundaries of whats possible in a whitewater kayak.
In this behind-the-scenes style film from Red Bull, Serrasolses and team head into the Arctic by ship in search of waterfalls falling off a massive ice shelf they call the wall.
It takes a team, ladders, crampons, ice axes, a few boats, and over 7 hours of glacial travel to get Serrasolses into position to attempt his target waterfall.

The flow terminates into the sea with a 60-foot waterfall. Of course, Serrasolses styles the whitewater and the drop.
Serrasolses and Red Bull call this the world’s highest glacier waterfall drop, a claim we cant refute.
