Premise of Alone Across The Arctic
Adam Shoalts is a professional explorer. As the next logical step in his career, he sets out to cross the Canadian Arctic. In a race against time that will last four months, covering 4000 kilometers. With no rifle, on foot and by canoe. In addition to everything, he is the first to do this expedition in one season, alone.
Some Facts/Trivia
The expedition support team consisted of filmmaker Francis Luta. He airdropped in 3 times over 4 months to capture beauty/drone shots.
Adam Shoalts shot all of the expedition footage himself. He did so with a Sony AX100 and GoPro.
And, this documentary is an accompanying piece to the best-selling book “Beyond the Trees: A Journey Alone Across Canada’s Arctic” by Adam Shoalts.
