Farthest North The End of Ice

Upcoming. Traveling by private fixed wing aircraft designed for aerial photography, we will fly from Barrow, Alaska all the way across the polar north, following the northwest passage which was, in fact, the migration route for Inuit hunters as they moved from Siberia to Greenland thousands of years ago.

Not only will we photograph the changing ice from the air, but also, we will make stops at every village between Barrow and Pond Inlet, Nunavut and hear the stories of how their traditional life was disrupted by the Canadian government, and the ways in which spiritual, social, and hunting ways have been kept alive.

In Igloolik, on Baffin Island, the site of the only indigenous Arctic film company, home of the producers of “The Fast Runner.” Here we will visit traditional hunters, village elders, and young filmmakers working to hold onto their traditions using a modern medium.
