    I love the music on this film. It is wistful and reflects contrasting perspectives of the Arctic landscape: At times it is viewed as either beautiful or bleak. I especially like the crescendo at about the seventh minute.

    Some absolutely wonderful sense... and I would truly love to go dog sledging across the lot! And maybe even take a few friends on a <a href="http://www.splashandrelax.co.uk/products/Sledges+&+Toboggans">sledging trip</a> with me :)

    This is my favourite NFB film. It is a fantastic look into how the arctic was portrayed to Canadians. Note how evil everything is made out to be. No wonder we neglected the arctic for so long.
