In 2011, a crew of scientists and artists, including a marine biologist, environmental geochemist, archaeologist, two painters and a film crew, boarded a three mast schooner and set out for the rugged fjords of Northeast Greenland. Their mission? Simply to explore.

Encounters with polar bears, new species, and lingering existential questions are accompanied by an eclectic soundtrack featuring Mozart and Metallica. Director Daniel Dencik brings the same philosophically probing tone that served him so well as editor of The Five Obstructions and Into Eternity to this irreverent and adventurous contemplation of our environmental impact on our shared world.
