Capturing breathtaking moments high above the world’s greatest mountain range, Dream of Icarus documents the world’s first paragliding expedition across the Himalayas. The expedition’s captain is legendary Korean mountaineer Park Jeong-heon, who enjoyed an illustrious climbing career on these snowy peaks. But he was forced to leave the Himalayas behind after frostbite claimed eight of his fingers. Now, Park has returned to pioneer a new 2,400 km sky route from Pakistan to Nepal. Fearless adventurers have joined him on a 168-day journey powered only by the forces of nature. Witness as they reach fantastic heights, drawing only upon the wind, their wits, and a vital natural phenomenon known as the thermal column, a powerful source of vertical lift.
