Here’s the youtube information about the senseFly’s eBee drone:

senseFly (http://www.sensefly.com) successfully demonstrated the 3D mapping capabilities of the eBee (http://www.sensefly.com/products/ebee), its fully autonomous mini drone under extreme conditions. Last weekend, the eBee conducted a mapping mission in the mountains above Zermatt at altitudes of up to 3000 meters and performed linear landings in deep snow. Several flights were conducted to map small hamlets and valleys at temperatures below -10°C (14°F).
