jan 1, 2003 - Arctic Mission: The Great Adventure
Description:
The story of a journey, told partly in the form of a travel diary. A crew of filmmakers, scientists, and seasoned sailors, undertake a five-month, 21,000-kilometre scientific mission to record the impact of global warming on the islands of the Canadian Arctic. The crew navigate the three-masted sailing yacht Sedna IV through the Northwest Passage, a treacherous, ice-choked route.[3] The voyage begins in the Magdalen Islands near Montréal and ends in Vancouver,[1] with stops including Beechey Island, where John Franklin and his crew wintered in 1846 during his last expedition,[9] underscoring how survival is a daily struggle in the Far North: the crew face unusually cold weather that makes navigation exceptionally perilous.[3] Contacts with Northern inhabitants both help guide the crew and reinforce the documentary's message concerning the impact of human activity on the world.[
