A car disappears through the ice on a Siberian lake, colossal melting icebergs crack and rumble against the Finnish symphonic heavy metal soundtrack, while towering waves curl in this spectacular and devastating vision.

On a frozen lake in Russia, the ice is thinning early – wreaking devastation to the humans continuing to drive on it. In Greenland, massive chunks rip away from icebergs, dissolving into dust. A sailboat struggles to stay erect in an almighty storm off the coast of Portugal. On deserted streets, Hurricane Irma punishes everything in sight. And in Venezuela the majestic Angel Falls makes a glorious rainbow.

Set to the backdrop of an original soundtrack by the Finnish symphonic metal band Apocalyptica, Aquarela’s roving lens takes you on a visceral global journey, allowing you to feel the raw power and beauty of water in startling visual detail.
