Pond Inlet, on the Northern
reaches of Baffin Island, provides one of the most challenging
landscapes our planet has to offer. Over 700km north of the Arctic
Circle, it sits amidst grinding, ever-shifting flows of sea-ice where
polar-bears roam in search of meat. In this severe climate Stroud has
been equipped with a bare minimum of raw materials to aid him for the
next 7 days - a hunk of uncooked seal-liver, some oil-rich blubber for
heat, a seal-hook, three matches, and a knife.
