On January 22nd 2018 Justin Allen and his team of 12 dogs departed Churchill, Manitoba on a 4 month dog sled expedition, over 3000km’s to Saint John, New Brunswick.
Justin and his support crew of 3 (Danielle Sinclair, Philip Da Silva and myself) travelled across northern Manitoba, Ontario, across James Bay into and across Quebec and finally down into Saint John through the middle of winter, ending up at our destination in the second week of May.
Freezing temperatures, wolves, snow blindness, polar bear country.. these are just a few of the challenges we met along the way.
I filmed and photographed the whole journey on a Panasonic GH5, which withstood months of being beat around on the back of skidoos, in komatiks, on dog sleds and in outside in anything down to -45 Celsius. It truly exceeded all of my expectations.
Here are a few photos from that expedition, and if you want to see a compressed (4 months into 44 minutes) trip, you can find it on cbc’s website here.
