Jakob emailed me when I said I was headed to the Arctic, offering to help out with a video. I don't think he knew what he was signing up for! Thank you so much to both Jakob Schytz and John Davidsen: we had only a few minutes to film this before I had to be on the last Zodiac boat out of town, so I'm really happy with the result!

Over at Matt and Tom's Park Bench, I'm talking about my behind-the-scenes stories and showing photos from the trip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3WuxFuPSu0

Thanks to Jakob: he runs Ilulissat Aerial, a local drone filming company! https://www.youtube.com/@ilulissataerial1772

I'm here because of Chris Hadfield's Generator Arctic - go check out everyone else who was on the trip, and have a look at tickets for their show at Massey Hall, Toronto, on November 12th! http://generatorevent.com

The fellow traveller at the end is TimToTheWild, who's putting together beautiful footage: https://www.youtube.com/user/TimtotheWild
