Evropské ostrovy z nebe

 

Searching for interesting flying, filming and photography ideas for 2014 I decided to undertake a systematic coverage of the islands belonging to European countries. The area is vast and islands very numerous so I divided the expedition into five parts, starting in March 2014 with a test flight to Sicily, Malta, Lampedusa and Lipari. 

Corsica, the Balearic islands, the Canary islands followed in May and then the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly, the Outer and Inner Hebrides, the Orkneys, the Shetlands and the Faroe Islands. In August, I added the islands of the Baltic Sea - Bornholm, Oland, Gotland Islands, the Alands, the Kvarkens, the islands of the Gulf of Finland and Estonioan islands. I concluded the expedition in mid October 2014 with a flight taking in the Croatian islands in the Adriatic and the Greek Ionian islands, Argosaronic islands, Cyclades, Crete, Sporades islands and the islands of the North-east Aegean Sea. 

Altogether I spent about 200 hours flying over the islands and the seas. During these flights I documented the islands in about 5000 photographs, 150 hours of videos taken by three outside and one inside camera and numerous articles - all published in the No1 Czech news internet portal, www.idnes.cz . The expedition attracted the attention of Czech and Portuguese TV as well as the Japanese Nippon TV, Czech national radio and several printed papers.
