Baffin Island: A Skier's Journey  

This 15 minute video is simply beautiful.

"High in the Canadian Arctic, 5 friends venture to the frozen fjords of North West Baffin Island during spring time. Ancient and colossal, these branching hallways of rock are the domain of seals and polar bears, and relied upon by local Inuit hunters. For visiting skiers, the fjords are nothing short of a dream. In every direction, giant couloirs ascend thousands of feet above the sea ice, weaving in between some of the tallest cliffs on the planet. Baffin Island: A Skier's Journey EP2 [Season 2] is a step through these magical spaces."

"Yet the constant feeling of being so small and insignificant is exactly what we craved"

I'd recommend watching this video after watching/reading Touching the Void, or perhaps before is better??

Regardless, now all I want to do is listen to this song while being out in the middle of nowhere

note: this music video is amazingly beautiful as well
