Watch Artic Extremes Ice Climbing In Greenland

Capture the thrill and excitement of the unknown in one of the few places left unexplored on the planet. Journey to the Arctic and travel with Peter Clutterbuck and Paul Walker as they lead an eight person expedition to a group of unnamed, unmapped and unexplored mountain ranges near the Kangerdlugssuaq region of East Greenland. This story begins with the training and preparation for the expedition, including crevasse rescue practice. The area is so remote that the only way in was via a ski plane from Iceland. Once the crew land on the glacier, base camp was set on the edge of the two mile thick ice-cap. The team completed eight first ascents with some steep ice climbed using ice axes, ice screws, crampons and other hi-tech gear, mostly under the midnight sun. Extreme weather conditions and a large storm prevented the team from getting airlifted out, but the ski plane did eventually come back to take them safely off the glacier. This documentary captures the feel of how to live on the icecap and the intricacies of hauling sledges, front pointing up steep ice and installing protection on the ice faces. Above all, the story captures the thrill and excitement of the unknown in one of the few places left unexplored on the planet.
