Around a year ago, a trailer for a ski documentary managed to really catch our attention. “Going Greenland” promised to be a renewable-energy-powered skiing adventure through the fjords and mountains of, you guessed it, Greenland, alongside professional skiers Rachael Burks and Jessica Baker.
Rather than taking helicopters, planes, snowmobiles, or big ol’ gas guzzling boats around the arctic territory, the two (and their crew) rely on a sailboat run on renewable energy, allowing them to enjoy the land without contributing to its destruction.
“In this award-winning documentary, Going Greenland, MHW athlete Rachael Burks and her ski partner Jessica Baker combined a renewable energy sailboat with an arctic ski expedition in Greenland, enduring a harrowing and inspiring journey along Greenland’s west coast fjords and towering mountains.”
The short documentary actually premiered back in January of this year (nearly a year ago), but online access has been unavailable until last week. If you’re looking for something to watch while eating your breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or you’ve just got twenty minutes, I highly recommend this award-winning documentary.
