In Nansen’s Footsteps

In Nansen’s Footsteps

Film out now

In 2018 Antarctic Heritage Trust took four young explorers 560km across the Greenland ice cap, in an epic expedition honouring Fridtjof Nansen’s first crossing 130 years ago. The explorers included a record-setting trailblazer, a New Zealand endurance athlete, a respected international videographer and an intrepid Australian adventurer (who once slept for nearly three months to overcome a head injury). The team took 28 days to ski across the ice cap dragging sleds behind them. They faced unprecedented levels of snow, Arctic hurricanes and sickness, in a season where only a handful of teams made it across the ice successfully. In Nansen’s Footsteps documents this journey and is the Trust’s third Inspiring Explorers’ film.

Director: Keith Parsons (Inspiring Explorer) and Rick Harvie (Belmont Productions)
Producer: Belmont Productions
Executive Producer: Antarctic Heritage Trust

With thanks to expedition partners Kathmandu and Ousland Explorers and Lumix and Rode for technical gear.
