LAURENT CHEVALLIER
France / 1988 / 28'
In preparation for an expedition to the Antarctic a group of people "test" men, dogs and equipment in an area of southern Greenland, that is an environment very similar to the one they will have to face when they cross the Antarctic. They cross the whole Greenland, covering 2000 km, and for 1500 they are completely self-supporting to get used to the cold, wind and solitude.
