This short documentary follows 3 Singaporean youths as they are given an opportunity to attend the Earthwatch Icelandic Glaciers Study Trip.

For those wondering what is NYAA, it means "National Youth Achievement Award". Basically these 3 youths got an award for their contributions in some form of environmental work. The Iceland trip is funded by HSBC, "the world's local bank".

Personally I was very blessed to be able to go to Iceland. I always loved to see glaciers. Thanks to Jean, the photographer, for the recommendation. To me the finale of the trip came when we took a flight over the glaciers. All I can say is WOW! It just goes on and on. It almost seems god was taking a brush and drawing on the vast glacier plains. It always proves my motto of travelling, "Marvel at Creation!".

Hope you enjoy this humble creation.
