HOLY. SHIT.

That's AWESOME!

Anyone know if that's a Kit plane or a custom built?

Its called the Double Ender and its a custom built aircraft. Here's the website. Its a pretty interesting project.

That takes serious balls. And skill.

Awesome plane, looks like that space frame is made to take a beating. It's also got massive flaps and leading edge slats by the looks of it, which would really help you not smash face first into the glacier!

Also, more aeroplanes should have Tractor/pusher engines like the old Dorniers, they look so awesome :)
