As cameras get smaller, lighter and sharper, the number of places where you won't find them shrinks exponentially. We've seen plenty of eye-popping point-of-view shots from sky divers, motorcyclists and various other daredevils, but we've yet to witness footage this clear and dynamic from the back of a soaring eagle.
Flying high over the Mer de Glace glacier in the Alps and the Montenvers Railway on the northern slopes of the Mont Blanc massif, this majestic bird provides us with a firsthand perspective of what it's like to hunt for prey in one of the most gorgeous environments on Earth — or, as Tolkien fans on YouTube point out, just what Gandalf saw when he rode the Great Eagles of Manwe.
