We travel the entire country, both on land and sea. Our expedition boat can access remote areas rarely visited by TV Production companies like us. In 2001 we have a major expedition to the Canadian Arctic, taking up most of our resources and time. Maydaymedia's head honcho is Tom O'Farrell, a Canadian in his fifties, who will make a solo attempt to travel the Canadian part of the North West Passage. This attempt, made without the huge resources needed for previous larger expeditions, is possible because global warming has significantly changed the Arctic.
Huge resources are no longer necessary.
Recently smaller vessels have successfully made this journey, although with considerable difficulty. We have a specially conceived and equipped boat, a support team that is land based, modern technology and the help of the Federal Government of Canada, if needed. This trip will certainly not be even close to easy, as danger is always present in this notoriously forbidding land. But we expect success. Our ability to make this expedition shows, indeed proves for all to see, that substantial changes to the climate of the Canadian Arctic have indeed already taken place, as only 5 years ago it would have been almost impossible to make this trip in one short summer season.
