Hidden among glaciers on Axel Heiberg Island, high in the Arctic Circle, are mountain bike lines too incredible to ignore. Harsh temperatures, volatile weather and nine-month winters mean that the area is normally devoid of human life. But each summer, this frozen landscape flourishes under endless daylight, revealing a spectacular ecosystem. Since the last ice age, glaciers have exposed massive polar deserts with the perfect moisture-to-sediment ratio on terrain beyond anything ridden in the history of the sport. Veteran freeride mountain bikers Darren Berrecloth and Cam Zink, embark on an expedition to the top of the world to explore this relatively unknown land, while sharing their knowledge with up-and-comers Carson Storch and Tom Van Steenbergen. With guidance from scientists based on the island, they discover a rapidly changing environment steeped in history, along with descents of nearly 3,000 feet, unlike anything anyone’s ridden to date.

Amazing the lengths these guys went to to ride this part of the world. Its like the mountain biking equivalent of the forth phase. Total legends of the sport pushing the boundaries in wild scenery.

Amazing cinematography, but not as much riding footage as I would have hoped. Definitely worth buying, will watch again.

Movie of the year! Exeptional mtnbk footage, travel genius, and conservation efforts. This film is inspiring on every level and deserves the attention of not just outdoor enthusiast's but humanity as a whole. Oh and also just some of the best mountainbike lines in the history of the sport.
