| But where is Nanooq? (299 Ko) | every day on the frozen sea is mainly spent trying to spot bears. Definitely Manu's eyes were the very best among us. |
| Meeting Nanooq (331 Ko) | while we are stopping for a short break, a polar bear passes just by us. |
| Meeting Nanooq (enlarged screen) (2 Mo) | the same, but with a wider image. |
| Get prepared! (523 Ko) | meeting a polar bear could unfortunately turn into a dangerous moment. You better get prepared, by setting your rifle ready, loading your alarm gun, and keeping firmly together. |
| Too close? Too far? Where is the right distance? (842 Ko) | Where should you stop when approaching a polar bear? Below which distance do you start annoying him? A nig issue on the ice (the movie is in french, sorry?). |
| Camping in the wind (359 Ko) | "Unsupported expedition" means nowhere to hide except your tent. When the wind raises and the temperature fails, you must be a bit prepared to keep on enjoying the situation. |
| kite sailing (389 Ko) | We had one kite. Fortunately enough, on one day, we had enough wind to be pulled all three of us + the sledges. 15 km/h was the average speed, but you could get up to 25 km/h. |
| Canary Bay (689 Ko) | A 30 km long ice barrier. A gigantic wall of 50 meters. With some luck, we could find a weakness and a way through to the sea. At first, there was water, but waiting night froze it. |
| The Ice Barrier (549 Ko) | Not the Ross Barrier, but rather impressive. |
| Meeting Natseq (582 Ko) | Waiting for Canary Bay to freeze, we spent the day looking at a group of shy seals. |
| Alone in the Glacier (857 Ko) | Pascal is skiing on the von Post glacier. |
| La chute de l'Archange (465 Ko) | Last sunset over Svalbard mountains. |
| skiing across glaciers (870 Ko) | a classic progression on glacier. Alex is hauling his 70 kg sledge. |
| skiing on the frozen sea (415 Ko) | a classic progression on the frozen sea, in between hummocks and fixed icebergs. |

By the way, 'nanooq' and 'natseq' are inuit words for 'polar bear'
and 'seal' respectively. They came like nicknames for those animals among
us.
