We've seen the Nokia N8's 12-megapixel camera excel in all kinds of situations over the last year, but a pair of intrepid explorers have taken things to a whole new level: they're using the Nokia N8 to document their round-the-world tandem ride. 

5 reasons why the Nokia N8 is still the best camera smartphone in the world

Crossing the globe on a bicycle isn't the kind of thing you do every day, so it's no surprise that adventurers Jontte and Nikki are looking to capture as much of it as they can in photos and video.

But carrying around a bulky camera for mile after mile isn't exactly ideal, and in the Nokia N8 they have the perfect compromise: a device that's small and light, yet still delivers high-quality images and video.

So far the pair's journey has taken them around New Zealand and on through Fiji, and now they've transferred across the Pacific to Canada.

The duo have been taking snaps and video with their Nokia N8 the entire way and you can keep up to speed on the latest developments on the RideTheTandem website.

In the most recent stretch of their journey, Nikki and Jontte went freewheeling down a very picturesque mountain road in British Columbia – the Kooney Pass. How picturesque, you ask? Well why not take a look at their HD video of the journey, as shot on their trusty N8, and see for yourself?
