Sarah McNair-Landry

Take a look inside the minds of elite adventure athletes through transformative stories about facing fear, personal loss, and Mother Nature.

Over the course of a year, accompanied by her partner, Erik Boomer, and their spirited team of huskies, Sarah McNair-Landry recorded a fascinating cinematic travelogue, filled with breathtaking Arctic landscapes.

Three National Geographic "Adventurers of the Year" embark on an insane kayaking mission in Greenland. Kite skiing, they tow their whitewater kayaks more than 1000 km over the Greenland Ice Cap to reach the northernmost river ever paddled.

Most summer holidays don’t involve skiing hundreds of kilometres over a frozen fjord in the Arctic Circle, but adventurers Erik Boomer and Sarah McNair-Landry are not most people. On a romantic getaway with a difference, the duo set off on a 45-day expedition through the remote landscape of Baffin Island in Canada, in search of stunning cliffs to climb and unexplored rivers to white-water kayak.

Sarah McNair-Landry is the winner of the first 21st Century Adventurer Award. Her homeland Baffin Island shaped her early on and made her the polar expert she is today. The now 33-year-old was the youngest person to ever reach both polar caps under her own steam. She has already completed five Greenland crossings and is also the first woman to be appointed Master Polar Guide.

Join adventures Erik and Sarah on yet another epic Baffin Vacation as they kite ski north along the remote coastline of Baffin. Over their 69 day holiday they ski mountains, climb an epic big wall, and cross a glacier in search of new rivers to white water kayak.

This short film tells the story of Isaci Etidloie, a man well-known in the Arctic for his pedigree and prowess in shaping old rocks. His creations often serve to recount taboo stories and Inuit myths.
