Explorer Mikael Strandberg

▶️ **Watch here:**

If you haven’t seen it yet, this film documents a 650 km ski expedition across Greenland’s icecap—shot entirely on an iPhone. No drones. No orchestral score. Just the raw symphony of wind battering tent walls, steam rising from snowmelt, and the haunting silhouette of the abandoned DYE 3 radar dome (a relic of the Cold War).

**Why watch?**
– Experience a 33-day crossing as if you were right there in –20 °C wind blasts.
– Hear Mikael Strandberg’s whispered diary entries recorded after grueling 10-hour hauls—each one offering a small window into the physical and mental toll of Arctic survival.
– Witness the Oura‐ring data moment (“aged three years in a month”) that underscores just how punishing this environment can be.
