00:00:13,305 --> 00:00:16,141
PINSENT: Last time on
The Polar Sea...
2
00:00:16,183 --> 00:00:19,102
The Arctic has arrived
under the midnight sun
3
00:00:19,144 --> 00:00:22,564
and the great seasonal melt
has begun.
4
00:00:22,606 --> 00:00:26,151
The Northwest Passage has
become the new Everest,
5
00:00:26,193 --> 00:00:30,364
drawing a growing crowd
of unlikely explorers.
6
00:00:30,405 --> 00:00:33,033
RICHARD:
I wouldn't consider
myself adventurous.
7
00:00:35,452 --> 00:00:37,621
PINSENT:
Aboard the tiny ship Dax,
8
00:00:37,663 --> 00:00:39,206
three middle-aged Swedes
9
00:00:39,247 --> 00:00:42,417
have sailed
from Iceland to Greenland
10
00:00:42,459 --> 00:00:46,171
to discover a fusion of
European and Inuit culture
11
00:00:47,715 --> 00:00:49,299
INUNNGUAQ:
Every year it's expanding
12
00:00:49,341 --> 00:00:51,010
with the tourists
13
00:00:51,050 --> 00:00:53,512
and they are coming more
and more and more.
14
00:00:53,554 --> 00:00:57,098
PINSENT:
As scientists explore
the unprecedented warming,
15
00:00:57,140 --> 00:01:00,268
artists worry
about its consequences
16
00:01:00,310 --> 00:01:03,981
while sailors test themselves
on a changing sea.
17
00:02:23,978 --> 00:02:25,938
PINSENT:
The Swedish yacht, Dax,
18
00:02:25,980 --> 00:02:28,398
en route to the
Northwest Passage,
19
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,652
has taken shelter in
the busy port of Ilulissat.
20
00:02:31,693 --> 00:02:35,697
It took 24 days and
some 3,000 kilometers
21
00:02:35,739 --> 00:02:37,616
to reach here from Iceland.
22
00:02:42,913 --> 00:02:46,125
Her captain is 60-year-old
retired salesman,
23
00:02:46,166 --> 00:02:48,293
Martin Sigge.
24
00:02:48,335 --> 00:02:49,795
MARTIN: The only bad thing,
so far is that
25
00:02:49,837 --> 00:02:53,132
we have this problem
with the forestay
26
00:02:53,172 --> 00:02:58,137
which also has cost
a lot of concern and time.
27
00:02:58,177 --> 00:03:01,849
PINSENT: With Martin is
his old army buddy,
Bengt Norvik.
28
00:03:01,890 --> 00:03:04,893
BENGT:
What you have to do now,
is to bring it on the...
29
00:03:06,478 --> 00:03:08,605
The, uh, quay here
30
00:03:08,647 --> 00:03:11,608
to examine it, and to fix it,
and then put it back.
31
00:03:12,776 --> 00:03:15,487
But it's very dirty,
32
00:03:15,529 --> 00:03:17,948
so to speak, up here
so we don't want to have any
33
00:03:17,990 --> 00:03:19,783
sand in the mechanism.
34
00:03:19,825 --> 00:03:24,412
We wrap it in plastic bags
or something
35
00:03:24,454 --> 00:03:27,499
so we can prevent it
from being damaged.
36
00:03:27,541 --> 00:03:30,961
PINSENT: Completing the crew
is Richard Tegner,
37
00:03:31,003 --> 00:03:32,838
the ship's cook and diarist.
38
00:03:34,173 --> 00:03:36,550
We have had
some conflicts aboard
39
00:03:36,591 --> 00:03:38,635
and we have
solved them together
40
00:03:38,677 --> 00:03:40,679
and it feels
very nice now
41
00:03:40,721 --> 00:03:46,143
because it's like maintaining
the things on board,
42
00:03:46,185 --> 00:03:48,395
machines and equipment.
43
00:03:48,436 --> 00:03:51,565
Even relations
have to be maintained.
44
00:03:59,198 --> 00:04:01,616
Hand it here,
the other end of that rope.
45
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:07,122
Okay.
46
00:04:10,709 --> 00:04:13,754
PINSENT: Martin has been
sailing his whole life.
47
00:04:13,795 --> 00:04:16,965
He has spent the last
18 months preparing
for this voyage.

(SPEAKING SWEDISH)
49

PINSENT: Dax is one
of more than 30 yachts
50
00:04:31,312 --> 00:04:34,441
that will attempt the
Northwest Passage this summer.
51
00:04:34,482 --> 00:04:36,443
She is moored to one of
them, Libellule,
52
00:04:37,318 --> 00:04:39,780
a Swiss-flagged catamaran.
53
00:04:39,821 --> 00:04:44,201
Libellule is sailed by
Yves German
and Sylvain Martineau,
54
00:04:44,243 --> 00:04:47,788
French sailors from the
storied port of La Rochelle.
55
00:04:47,829 --> 00:04:50,582
They await the family
that owns the ship,
56
00:04:50,624 --> 00:04:53,418
with whom they will challenge
the notorious Passage.

(SYLVAIN SPEAKING FRENCH)
58
00:05:28,453 --> 00:05:30,622
PINSENT:
The Arctic Ocean's ice cap
59
00:05:30,664 --> 00:05:33,708
begins to melt
in mid-March.
60
00:05:33,750 --> 00:05:36,461
Beneath the midnight sun
that shines all summer,
61
00:05:36,503 --> 00:05:41,758
more than 130,000
square kilometers of ice
melt every day.
62
00:05:44,261 --> 00:05:48,098
By mid-July, seven million
square kilometers
of the ice cap,
63
00:05:48,140 --> 00:05:50,349
almost the area of Australia,
64
00:05:51,059 --> 00:05:52,727
have melted.
65
00:05:52,769 --> 00:05:55,522
But passage
through the narrow
channels between
66
00:05:55,563 --> 00:05:57,899
Arctic islands
is still blocked.
67
00:06:00,652 --> 00:06:03,571
Sailors attempting the
passage from the east
68
00:06:03,613 --> 00:06:06,533
gather to wait in Greenland.
69
00:06:06,574 --> 00:06:09,077
If the Northwest Passage
is the new Everest,
70
00:06:09,119 --> 00:06:10,662
Ilulissat is base camp.
71
00:06:23,175 --> 00:06:27,095
Europeans have been traveling
to Greenland for 1,000 years,
72
00:06:27,137 --> 00:06:30,182
but only with global warming
has it become
a tourist hot spot.
73
00:06:32,976 --> 00:06:35,812
Twenty thousand visitors
come to Ilulissat annually
74
00:06:35,854 --> 00:06:40,192
to see its melting glacier
chip ice into the sea.
75
00:06:40,234 --> 00:06:42,236
And for the select few,
76
00:06:42,277 --> 00:06:44,403
that is just the beginning
of the adventure.
77
00:06:50,327 --> 00:06:53,496
Anchored off Ilulissat,
the luxury liner Le Boreal
78
00:06:53,538 --> 00:06:56,624

for the Northwest Passage.

00:07:13,641 --> 00:07:16,186
are briefed by
Captain Patrick Marchesseau.
83
00:07:17,645 --> 00:07:20,315
(IN ENGLISH)
Good morning, everybody,
84
00:07:21,316 --> 00:07:24,527
we start with the Greenland.
85
00:07:24,569 --> 00:07:28,489
It will be much more
oriented about culture
86
00:07:28,531 --> 00:07:31,534
so we will go
to different village
87
00:07:31,576 --> 00:07:33,870
and to meet the Inuit.
88
00:07:33,912 --> 00:07:36,539
Don't expect to see
too much wildlife
89
00:07:36,581 --> 00:07:38,375
on the Greenland side.
90
00:07:38,417 --> 00:07:39,751
The second part
of the itinerary,
91
00:07:39,793 --> 00:07:43,588
the Baffin territory,
Nunavut,
92
00:07:43,630 --> 00:07:46,549
then it will be very
oriented about wildlife.
93
00:07:46,591 --> 00:07:49,510
If we have the opportunity
to spot a whale,
94
00:07:49,552 --> 00:07:50,971
if we have the opportunity
to spot a polar bear,

Uh, captain.
Yes?
100
00:08:01,856 --> 00:08:03,442
We should say
follow the whales, not chase.

PATRICK:
Ah, okay.
Okay, okay, okay.
102

dedicated to the Dane,
Knud Rasmussen,

on ice by dog team,

He typified the Scandinavian
way of Arctic travel.

The Norwegian explorer,
Roald Amundsen,
126

also succeeded by hunting
and trading as he went.

Amundsen is
Martin Sigge's hero.

In 1903 he was the first
to sail the passage.
129
00:11:52,546 --> 00:11:56,174
MARTIN:
Amundsen had small
crew, small boat,
130
00:11:56,216 --> 00:11:58,426
that was an old fishing boat
that he converted.

the wrong approach.
