THE GREAT ROUTE

THE GREAT ROUTE

This incredible SUP trip along the west coast of Greenland shows the effects of climate change in the high north. Standup paddler Michael Walther, photographer Daniell Bohnhof and filmmaker Maximilian Stolarow follow a route from Aasiaat to Ilulissat to discover life on the rough island in the past and present. In addition to icebergs, never-ending days and frigid temperatures, they meet Valdemar Petersen, an 84-year-old hunter and poet. The Great Route inspires action to protect this unique northern region.
