Arctia’s icebreaker Kontio departed the icebreaker base in Helsinki as the Finnish icebreaking season’s second icebreaker on Saturday 29 December 2018. The vessel headed towards its initial operation area near Oulu and Raahe, where it will begin assisting vessels upon arrival on Sunday 30 December. Icebreaker Otso, that departed on 25 December, already assists vessels in the Bothnian Bay.

“There is already ice coverage in the northernmost part of the Bothnian Bay as well as near Oulu. So far the ice situation has been easy, but as temperatures keep dropping further below zero, more ice will form fast. Some forecasts predict a winter colder than average. A master of an icebreaker naturally has nothing against these kinds of predictions”, ponders Timo Jeskanen, Master of IB Kontio.

Over the summer we have worked on a very nice personal project that would also display our equipment and possible uses. For instance, the use of a long lens on a drone, which is rarely seen, but provides beautiful results.

We are getting a little bit ahead... but, we couldn't wait to put out a Best Of video with some shots we liked a lot, and also some unreleased never before seen images..! 

This is something we have been working on and dying to tell you... but kept it a secret until today. This is the first ever downhill skateboarding video filmed completely at night, under the full moon. As Yvon says: “one of the best experiences of my life has been to go down a hill on a road lit up just by the moon. Thanks to the new technologies, it is now possible to film such moments, which was unthinkable a little more than a year ago. The capability of this camera to film at night is better than what we can see with our own eyes.”

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Project Moonlight!

Yesterday was the official launch of the Gvarchi app, an application that will help you rediscover Geneva and become an expert on its architectural secrets. There are 50 sites to discover, from which 20 display the aerial shots we made specifically for this project.

Many thanks to Point Prod, Maison de l'Architecture à Genève, and Fédération des Architects et Ingenieurs de Genève for this amazing opportunity!

You can download the app now! It's available in App Store and Google Play.
