Abstract: In August, 1881 Lieutenant Adolphus W. Greely and a team of 25 determined men set out as part of the First International Polar Year to build a research station on Ellesmere Island, 450 miles from the North Pole. The Lady Franklin Bay Expedition began as the most ambitious arctic expedition in United States history, but was destined to descend into a three year journey through a frozen hell - a voyage of forced retreaat, starvation, brewing mutiny and cannibalism. Against all odds, six men survived and returned to Portsmouth, New Hampshire as American heros. (from back of book)

Abstract: Highway Wilding sets out to convince us that roads as we know them are a serious problem and make a case for doing something smarter, and achieves both beyond all doubt. Better yet, it deepens into the long-distance lives of animals and evokes that powerful sense of nature as a world operating outside of our daily understandings. Everyone will have their own moment where the film crosses over from interesting to urgent; for me, it was the story of a transplanted lynx that walked over 1500 kilometres home from America. Beautiful." - J.B. Mackinnon - author of 'The 100-Mile Diet' and 'The Once and Future World' (2013)
