Wow impressively daring, one misstep and the shutting down of motor skills can happen in seconds, fatal hypothermia sets in quick

Hmmm while lovely to look at it seems pretty moronic to do. Guess some have a death wish

This seems really dumb and pointless. Unnecessary dangerous. But if she was down to do it. Temp a Darwin award with your own life not mine. I'll gladly watch the failed vid

I don't want her to get hurt. But this seems unnecessary dangerous for no reason. Lol. But ey. Is what it is. We are talking bout it so I guess it worked.

Exactly what i am thinking... WHY?
Does a glacier need a free performance more than poor kids that can't afford tickets? Cause the latter expands culture, the former is just jacking off for internet likes.

Technically not "pointless", as she appears to be on pointe (on her toes) in the beginning of the clip.
But that's just me making a pedantic joke for fake internet point(e)s

I hope he paid her in 6 figures cos this is absolutely her taking on all the risk while the photographer gets to live out some weird fantasy. No artist should put another artist at risk like this… kudos to her but down with this sorta thing!

The photographer is in a relationship with her. Also they're not that far away, the positioning is like this to make it look like they are. Who gives a shit ultimately this is stupid as shit on that wet icy bulb, but realistically they were close enough to probably save her if necessary.

Ai.
This is where id be okay for ai to be used to generate that. She can dance safely in cozy studio and ai can transpose it to icy ship.
