“If you don’t like freezing cold weather and fierce blowing winds, then Baffin Island and the Arctic are not for you.” These words by explorer Steve Hall accurately describe the harsh climate awaiting most hikers who come to Baffin Island, even in the summer. After 3 years of planning, Steve takes viewers along with him while backpacking through Akshayuk Pass in Auyuittuq National Park, located in Nunavut, Canada. Spectacular scenery is seen while passing by mountains, lakes, glaciers, rivers, and waterfalls. This includes Mount Thor, which has the greatest vertical drop of any mountain in the world. And Mount Asgard, which has a unique cylindrical shape with a flat top. But seeing these sights in person and hiking in the Arctic presents great challenges to deal with such as enduring the weather, crossing raging rivers, climbing unstable moraines, and dealing with morale-draining wet bogs. As he takes on these challenges, Steve becomes the first person in nearly 2 years to backpack to Mount Thor, while hiking from Overlord West to June Valley.
This award-winning documentary features three original songs co-written by Steve: “Weasel River”, “Baffin Island”, and “Snowy Owl”. Winner of Best Documentary Feature at the New York International Film Awards. Winner of Best Documentary Feature Film at the Five Continents International Film Festival. Winner of Best Indie Filmmaker at the Festigious International Film Festival. Winner of Best Song (Award of Prestige) for "Snowy Owl" at the Vegas Movie Awards. Winner of Honorable Mention: Documentary Feature at the Los Angeles Film Awards. Winner of Honorable Mention at the Athens International Monthly Art Film Festival. Filmed and released in 4K HD.

I am a 73 year old Canadian lady who has had a wonderful life exploring North America. I loved your video. Last year I visited the Yukon and Alaska by car and loved every moment. What a beautiful country we have. Thank you for showing me an area that I will never see with my on eyes. Loved the video. Thanks again.

In 2003 I had the privilege of spending the summer working in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut which is on Victoria Island. The western portion of the island is part of the Northwest Territory. The eastern portion is Nunavut. The 24 hr day , the tundra, the sea coast, the lakes and rivers and mallards, eiders, Canada geese, Arctic char, foxes, seals and Musk oxen made for a majestic experience that is fresh on my mind 20 years later. Thanks for this video. To anyone reading this, if you ever have the opportunity to explore the Arctic do it-you’ll never regret it. 😊 PS all the cairns that Steve is talking about are known by the Canadian Inuit people as Inukshuk. They are constructed precisely to guide the way across the endless expanse.

I flew over Baffin Island on a flight to Hamburg, it was Nov. 1987 and there was very little snow or ice. The mountains were amazing and it looked so inviting. Wish I could hike there.

An amazing and most unique journey, Mr. Hall! You accomplished something most people would not even dare to try! Full Speed Ahead in your next quest! 🙂

As a kid in primary school in Melbourne Australia in 1966, our teacher told us about Baffin Island and it seemed to be a remote and distant place.

@khalidrashid2092 Год назад

Incredible hike, wild spectacular landscape, not a soul around, as if on another planet. Thanks for sharing. I have always dreamt of such a hike or a north Canadian cruise but I live in a poor country far away, and have no financial and technical resources, nor visas for Canada. In a way you made my dream come true.

@puma1304 Год назад

soooo nice! those peaks (Thor! Asgard!) and glacier valleys, the many river crossings and lakes, the solitude, and the changing weather and strong wind... it reminded me a lot of my place down under in Patagonia. This film was a pleasure to watch. greetings from wild, wet, windy and wonderful Western Patagonia, Chile

@aidentaliesin6641 Год назад

It looks like you lost some weight on the trek but a wonderful way to travel and see all that beauty.

@hazelpearson7807 Год назад

Enjoyed this glimpse of the park. I lived in the settlement of Broughton Island, the name I knew it by in 1974 to 1975. My husband did the trip in March of 1973 by skidoo, travelling south from Br, Is. to Pangnirtung, it was quite the adventure as they had to negotiate frozen falls at the end of the trip. Thankfully we have photos, not easy to get back in the 70’s when trying to keep your camera warm, inside your parka for body heat was the only chance of it working but hard to do on long overnight trips. Hope you get to repeat the trip by skidoo from the top end, perhaps in March/April while the pass is frozen, maybe not so many polar bears on the move at that time.

@hansschaechter9471 Год назад

Thank you for a wonderful experience complimenting a trip on the seas at Baffin Island.

@bufatutuagonistes8876 Год назад

I can see Labrador across the Strait of Belle Isle from my place at the northern tip of Newfoundland. I love the scenery and landscapes there. Your walk through that Canadian National Park was incredible. What incredible beauty and what an amazing place to walk. And to be there alone. Wow! The north shore of the Great Northern Peninsula of Newfoundland, where my place is, is considered the southern extent of the sub-arctic alpine biome. Had a polar bear show up one spring when I was there. Got a great shot of it out my bathroom window. One of my neighbors saw the bear cross the road near midnight on her way home from the second shift. She called the RCMP and Wildlife Officer and then, knowing that I went out walking in the morning by myself, she called me. So glad I had warning. She may have saved my life!

Stopping by to say no matter what, you had an epic experience most don’t ever get to have. Loved watching your hike. No shame in bowing out. Polar bears are no joke.

@jenniferlevine5406 Год назад

Great adventure. Sad to loose a couple of days, but on the other hand such a dramatic end to the trip retracing your steps from a helicopter. Amazing!

@catholiccrusader5328 Год назад

Such a magnificent video! After seeing the marvelous program I find it so hard to believe that there are so many people who still don't believe in a Creator GOD!

Thank you so much for sharing this adventure to the Arctic. Loved every minute of it. Although I live in Australia, I have always had a fascination with the Arctic. I have been fortunate enough to travel to the Arctic in Alaska twice, to Barrow in 2005 and to Coldfoot in 2014. Once again, thank you.

@annenna2354 Год назад

Thank you for this film. Back in fifth grade (and long before the existence of youtube) we did projects about Canada and I chose Baffin Island as a subject. Awesome getting to see real footage of it up close. It's absolutely stunning compared to the few photos (and my imagination) I had seen as a kid.

@wadebarber6493 Год назад

For some reason, baffin islands mountain ranges give off a scary almost nightmarish vibe. Don't ask me why.

@judyhobday4760 Год назад

I just watched your video on y tv ad had to come back to my tablet I was just enthralled with your adventure. My parents would have loved to do a similar hike. They were very much hikers and backpackers. Sadly they are gone now so I watched it thinking of them and how much they would have enjoyed following you. Sorry my typing is poor. My lap top is waiting to be replaced so I have to peck peck on my tablet Thank you again.

@alainmilette540 2 года назад

Wow !! Amazing footage, good choice of music. I flew over Auyuittuq many times but walking through is still a dream for me. I got a ride of boat and reached the end of the fjiord where you started to walk,, so good memories. Thank's for sharing that to the public, an unknowed territory for many peoples, unfortunately.

@BikeVermont71 Год назад

Beautiful scenery and the easy commentary was relaxing to listen to. I bet Steve is a great hiking companion. It's a little too bad we never met his bear guard, even though we saw him once or twice in the background.

@steveinathens Год назад

The bear guard is a nice person but did not have a good experience out there. The weather, terrain, and harshness of the environment took a terrible toll on him.

@FrankieDaix1978 Год назад

Excellent work, I was very interested in the Arctic the last couple years thanks to my interest in the Franklin Expedition I thought about visiting sometime but wasn’t sure after watching this my interest has multiplied, I really enjoyed it , I watched the hour and 40 minutes which I didn’t think I would before watching, I really enjoyed the trail on the coast of California, great quality filming 👍👍🇨🇦

Hey Steve, I have to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your video. It brought back so many memories about the hike and all the great time up there. Your video is just amazing and so I was able to get back there even when I was at home. Thank you so much ❤

@melaniegladwin5490 Год назад

The shelter at Windy Lake is on the opposite side of the Weasel River because that is where the foot bridge used to be. The bridge was washed out in 2010. The Ulu Shelter wasn't there when we went in 2012. It was on the other side of the Weasel.

A one hour and forty minute documentary involving a region in the Arctic and not even one mention of global warming (sorry, climate change)! It's worth watching for that reason alone!

@awatt1404 Год назад

Lovely spot. If I may add, you can fly to Iqaluit from Montreal as well. The first refuge in the video is called ''ULU'', which means a knife in inuktitut! I wish there were encounters with Inuit people, especially in Pangnirtung. Finally I felt the explorer was narrating a funeral procession at times...did not count too many smiles during the video!

@aahxzen Год назад

He just has a calm demeanor, not everyone needs to smile to enjoy and appreciate things.

So brave!!! It's comforting to hear someone speak English in such remote desolate noman's land!!! I admired this guy!!! I once heard someone said everyone got their own way of having fun!! So true!! If I was put out there, I would asking for Jesus!!! 😆 To me it's completely jurassic world, without dinos!! I watched each and every ad to show support which I never did for any vid on this tube thing!! It's extremely comforting to know towards the end that there had been someone travelling all along!!
