In Denmark (Scandinavia) a weather-balloon was sent up yesterday.

It reached an altitude of 31 kilometer, 19 miles, or just over 100,000 feet :)

It carried, among other things, a camera.

The footage has not been fully edited and released to the public yet, they said on tv today. But some excerpts was shown.

Here's the blog-page where updates are posted as they roll in. It is in both danish and english language:

Here's the official youtube video of the launch of the balloon, filmed from what I think is a remote-controlled helicopter/hover-device of some kind. Very neat video actually, and giving a good overlook :) :

Here's the first footage excerpts released of the flight itself. It's not the final video, as I understand it, so I guess in a few days there will be a youtube video, or something similar, of parts of the flight. I don't know if non-danish viewers can see this video, if it is restricted to only show locally in Denmark, but here's the link if you want to try. It's from the news-cast's weather-bulletin this afternoon (november 17th, 2011):
