"Expedition Arguk: 300 Miles through the Changing Arctic is a two-part film documentary that will introduce people all over the world to the beauty and peril of the changing Arctic. The Arctic is entering a period of intense transformation: warming temperatures are profoundly altering the environment, resource extraction is accelerating, and the melting Polar ice cap will bring radical geopolitical challenges. The Brooks Range and the North Slope of Alaska are about eight times the size of Switzerland, but the harsh climate, remoteness, and low population density mean that very little information and media make their way out of this remote region and into the public imagination.
Expedition Arguk will work to help change this. A small team of five scientists and media experts will hike and packraft 300 miles, from the wilderness of Gates of the Arctic National Park to the heart of Alaska's petroleum industry on the Arctic coast. We will make a huge amount of high-quality media available to the public free of charge, and will work to improve educational resources, write articles, and give talks. Our educational focus has helped us earn the sponsorship of the Sierra Club (Alaska Chapter) and the Alaska Wilderness League, while our modern methods of wilderness travel have helped us earn the sponsorship of outdoor gear suppliers and groups like the American Packrafting Association and Black Rock Gear. On May 18, we were awarded the competitive Fisher/Kellogg grant from the American Alpine Club, which supports socially engaged and conservation-minded expeditions.
The centerpiece of our outreach is our two film projects, explained in more detail below. We hope that, in the same way that John Muir's writings brought the Sierras into the living rooms of people across the country, these projects will help introduce people around the world to the beauty, drama, importance, and lessons of the Arctic."
