Ballerina Goes Viral Dancing on a Ship’s Bow in the Freezing Waters of Antarctica

It almost looks like the images were created by AI, but the ballerina actually danced on the bow of a ship in the freezing waters of Antarctica.

The images are so stunning that many internet users believed they were AI-generated. However, ballerina Victoria Dauberville truly danced on the bow of a ship as it crossed the icy waters of Antarctica.

The dancer and choreographer was filmed by her husband, Matheu Forget, aboard the Ponant, a cruise ship, against a breathtaking backdrop of ice blocks and shades of white and blue contrasting with the deep red of the bow bulb and the black of the ship.

The video sparked a lot of discussion online, with many people claiming the images were not real but AI-generated. To clarify, Dauberville and Forget took to Instagram to explain how the clip was filmed.

According to the couple, the temperature was so low that right after filming, the ballerina had to put on warm clothes to heat up. However, during the shoot, Dauberville didn’t appear to feel the cold, moving gracefully and delicately as if performing on a regular stage.

Once people realized the video was real, they flooded the post with praise. “Sublime, a project that warms the heart,” one commented. “This is so poetic! Splendid!” said another.
