Packing a Kayaking Kit
S1 E2 - 2m 45s
As they prepare for their expedition in Greenland, Aldo helps pack the kayaks while Steve and Sarah attempt to get a better look at the fjord conditions. When they arrive at a vantage point to view their route, they see that it’s obstructed by a cloud inversion.
Day One in Greenland
S1 E2 - 2m 58s
As the team begins kayaking along the longest fjord system on the planet, they go over safety precautions for their trip. The ice is constantly moving and can quickly close up pathways in the water. The group must stay in close visual proximity to one another to ensure no one is left behind.
Warding Off a Polar Bear
S1 E2 - 3m
The crew spots a lone polar bear wandering toward their camp in search of food. Hoping to avoid injury between either party, they use marine flares, loud noises and rocks in hopes that they’ll scare it off.
Refueling on the Fjord
S1 E2 - 1m 14s
After kayaking through the fjord for an hour, Steve, Aldo and Sarah stop to eat and hydrate. They need to take on 6,000 calories each day to stay warm and fuel themselves for the remainder of their journey.
Husky Ride
S1 E2 - 4m 36s
Steve and the team are in Greenland to kayak an Arctic fjord earlier in the year than has ever been possible, due to warming seas and shorter winters. To get a view of the fjord from above they’re relying on a very special mode of transport. For thousands of years, the people of Greenland have lived side by side with dogs, and they make the perfect sled pullers.
