Video Portal Launched! Experience the Arctic Frostbite-Free!

We launched our video portal this week with an eclectic mix of documentary-style videos to choose from. And we’re busy in production posting more videos every day. This site is truly becoming a definitive portal for all things Arctic, depicting people who live “up there” so that us “southerners” can get a better idea of what is actually happening in most rapidly changing environment on our planet.

There’s something for every armchair adventurer:

Dog lover with a couple of minutes to spare before lunch?

You’ll love Arctic Mush: Joelie and his Dogs (13 minutes). Joelie speaks passionately about training and being at one with his husky team.

Ever wondered why Canada’s Inuit are so keen on hunting seal?

Watch : Seal Ban: The Inuit Impact (almost 13 minutes). And if that doesn’t satisfy your hunger for seal knowledge, have a look at this embedded video in our news section:  After-school Special: Butchering a Seal (rated “q” for “might make you ‘queasy’ “).

If you’ve got time to kick up your feet and stay for awhile, there’s also long-form documentary to watch.

What’s the first thing you think of when you see a polar bear? Ferocious beast? -or- Climate change superhero?

Check out: Polar Bear Fever (44 minutes) – you’ll be amazed at how your ideas about the polar bear have been shaped by advertising.

What country has got dibs on the Arctic?

Good question. Your guess is as good as mine, but you will gain a little insight from watching Arctic Meltdown 2- The Arctic Passages (43 minutes).

Enjoy. Come back for more. Tell your friends. Tell their friends. Get excited. Stay warm. We are delivering the Arctic right to your computer.
