Rising Drone Shot Reveals Giant Mine Through Wildfire Smoke

A rising drone shot from the Giant Mine scenic viewpoint along the Ingraham Trail. As the camera ascends, Giant Mine emerges in the midground, partially obscured by a thick wall of wildfire smoke. The haze flattens the depth of the landscape, blending the horizon into a seamless, muted brown sky. 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.
