The remarkable adventures of three Australians retracing the steps of the 1932 British Arctic Air Route across the icy labyrinth of Greenland. Chasing The Midnight Sun captures the fatal beauty of Greenland's glacial icebergs; the extreme conditions of negotiating freezing cold lakes, white water rapids, bottomless crevasses and ten metre ice walls; and the compelling accounts of the "inner" journey that each adventurer experiences. Chasing The Midnight Sun was inspired by, and is a tribute to, some of the first surveyors of the arctic wilderness that is Greenland.
