    Annapurna, spasibo chto zhivoy

    Vitaly Lazo (2019)

    As part of the Freeride in the Death Zone project, in 2018 Vitaly Lazo and Anton Pugovkiny attempted to climb and ski Annapurna, one of the most dangerous 8,000, without bottled oxygen. Vitaly and Anton failed to climb the summit, but considered the expedition a success as they managed to come back alive from the peak. In 2017, the freeriders successfully climbed and skied down from Manaslu (8163 meters) on what was the first Russian ski descent from an eight-thousand without bottled oxygen.

    This mountain life

    Grant Baldwin (2019)

    Martina Halik and her 60-year-old mother Tania embark on a six-month ski trek through the treacherous Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. This journey has only been completed once before, and never by a female duo. Their adventure is interspersed with unheard stories of high-altitude human endurance and passion: a group of nuns inhabiting a mountain retreat to be closer to God, a photographer who is later buried in an avalanche, an impassioned alpinist, a focused snow artist, a couple who have been living off-grid in the mountains for nearly 50 years. What is it that leads these adventurous people to sacrifice everything – comfort, family, personal safety – for a life in the mountains?

    Greenland - Ice Mountain

    Rosie Gloyns (2019)

    Episode of Expedition with Steve Backshall, a series in which the naturalist and explorer Steve Backshall takes us on a mission to visit parts of the world yet to be explored. The episode shows the second part of his arctic adventure. After kayaking the largest fjord in the world, Backshall attempts to summit an unclimbed mountain deep in Greenland’s Arctic wilderness. He faces many hazards - from rivers of freezing meltwater to quicksand and treacherous glacial ice. The Arctic is warming twice as fast as the rest of the planet which means Greenland’s ice sheet, over two kilometers thick in places, is melting. The climb lets Steve and his team look over an ancient habitat living on borrowed time.

    Un ocean de sommets

    Stefan Girres (2018)

They didn’t really connect when they grew up, that’s life… But they won’t let life choose their path so when they decided it was time to get to know each other, they didn’t go to the restaurant; they bought a boat, repaired it and planned a four month long trip from France to Greenland, passing by Norway and Iceland to ski and climb mountains. With two other team-members, an incredible journey began as they learned to navigate their sailing ship from one storm to another, through icebergs along gigantic cliffs.
