Orbit Around Yellowknife River Bridge in Wildfire Smoke

This sweeping aerial orbit circles roughly 180 degrees around the Yellowknife River Bridge on the Ingraham Trail. The drone arcs over the Yellowknife River, passing above the day use parking lot before continuing across the roadway and ending above the surrounding forest. Dense wildfire smoke blankets the landscape, muting natural colours to subdued earthy tones and obscuring the horizon into a seamless brown haze. Filmed during one of the worst air quality days in Yellowknife’s history, this rare environmental moment offers a haunting visual of climate and wildfire impact in Canada’s North.
