- Alaskan adventurers Bjørn Olson and Kim McNett undertake a fat-bike and packraft expedition entirely above the Arctic Circle. Along their route, they experience abundant wildlife, stunning grandeur, days of ideal traveling, abnormally warm conditions, and sobering observations of global warming's impact at this high latitude.

I absolutely love your art that appears throughout your story. It has so much life and vitality. Thank you for taking the time to film so we can tag along!
Absolutely love this. Their expertise, enthusiasm, dedication, and commitment to these trips is very much respected and appreciated. I love these landscapes and the perspective at which they wander over them. I miss living in the Arctic and hope to return again soon.
Also, I dig the music! 🤘
Ok, sorry about the snarky comment regarding the reverb music at the start. I really did enjoy the video. Good on you guys for telling the story for all to understand what's happening with our world.
This is documentary quality. From the video footage to the dialogue and art work of the journal, just compelling. The music at the beginning was a little distracting but didn’t ruin it for me. Epic! Nice job!
Love seeing fat bike adventures!! Hope to get back to Alaska some time. The impacts covered are definitely concerning.
Maybe you find this interesting too, I ride Salsa Beargrease since 2014, the same bike since then, enjoy czcams.com/video/mRGXZ4ef8Fo/video.html
Very special to have the chance to see this trip and this place. Amazing knowledgeable hosts. Thank you Salsa, Bjorn, and Kim!
as someone that just bought a salsa fatbike i can confirm i am excited for this!
This is such an amazing film. Loved the message too. :D
If you don’t get why this music is used, you don’t get what this video is about
Wow amazing! We just did some Arctic exploration in Norway and Svalabrd but Alaska looks insanely good!
Beautiful! Impressive that you made the ride, did some data collection, art, and filming all the way. Guess I'll have to go back and paddle the Cape. Sounds like North to South will be the best way to go for a lot of reasons.
Beautiful shots and well edited. Well done, I really enjoyed.
Good video without the terrible background music......
Yes! I had to switch off the video after about 10 seconds of some of the worst sounding guitar music I’ve ever heard. Re-edit this without the soundtrack please!
It’s fine after the first couple minutes of death metal whatever.
Not sure how anyone thought that music was a good idea:/
Bravo from Greece...
So amazing
Thank you
Great stuff but that opening soundtrack?
Great stuff, thank you for sharing. Music selection is not up to the story though, especially opening score is terrible, around 3:10 it gets awful and it looks/sounds like the background music plays main part here, not story.
Is this main picture a standing Thule whale bone house? This is a perfect movie for an archaeologist/fat biker/birder.
Who approved the music, I've been at construction sites that didn't sound this bad. Try again.
i'm curious how the insects were in that part of alaska? i would imagine the same marsh type terrain as the interior down south? beautiful adventure!
i guess i could have watched a little further...
Not sure my new Salsa Warbird gravel bike could handle but a goal to shot for!
The best bike is the one you got !!!Enjoy !!!
Music could have been better selected
schönes video, aber ätzende musik, schade
Soft soil and the natural erosion of the sea side cliffs, does in fact mean that gravity, wind and water still does work as our God intended.
Climate change, each and every morning and evening. 😀 as the earth spins.
Lovely video. Thank you for this. But the background music (oppressive and annoying) does not make it an experience as pleasant as it could be. Too bad. (And don't get me wrong, doom metal is great. But not here. It doesn't fit. My humble opinion.)
Skip to 4:12 to avoid the awful opening music.
Amazing doc! But the soundtrack doesn't help at all!

Like those fossil fueled derived bicycle tires, paint ect.
I do ride bikes, and I drive automobiles, and I drive a commercial truck transporting your McDonalds products that destroy your health.
Cool video.... But the music... Ouch
Probably a great video but couldn't make it past 3 minutes of super loud and annoying guitar rifts.
Video 8/10
Audio 2/10
Fake Scientific background portrayed as real 10/10
Had to turn this off. The music makes it unwatchable.
