Beyond the Icecap – a 20‑minute field note from Greenland, coming soon

Last autumn four of us skied 650 km across the ice sheet with 90 kg sleds and a single iPhone for a camera.

Over the next two weeks I’m releasing three one‑minute teasers here; the full short film will follow right after the third clip.

What to expect

  • No drones, no soundtrack swell—just wind, white‑out and one Cold‑War radar dome hovering in a blizzard.

  • An iPhone that survived –20 °C, clipped highlights and all.

  • Whispered diary lines recorded after ten one‑hour hauls, including the moment my Oura ring told me I’d “aged three years” in a month.

  • Acknowledgement up‑front: we stayed far from settlements, so Greenlandic voices are absent except for a brief stop in Tasiilaq. A title card notes that gap.
