World’s Toughest Boat Trips | The Arctic | Free Documentary
World’s Toughest Boat Trips - Egypt: • World’s Toughest Boat ...
In this episode:
Host Ian Wright travels to the high Arctic from the coast of northern Norway, working his passage on a trawler fishing for cod, before continuing his voyage on a specially ice-strengthened vessel around Spitsbergen, the world’s northernmost inhabited islands, in order to search for polar bears. Ian’s tough Arctic journey starts in the northern Norwegian fishing port of Tromso, more than 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle. From here, aboard the fishing trawler Hermes, he travels 300 miles further north to rich fishing grounds near remote Bear Island. With 18 crew on board, the Hermes can catch and store up to 450 tons of fish in its freezer before needing to return to port to unload. Before the fish are frozen, the heads and guts are removed in the onboard fish factory, where Ian helps out. It’s a tough job, with the crew working shifts, 6 hours on, 6 hours off, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for weeks on end, often in rough seas. Ian struggles to keep up with the hard-working crew and admits he’s not much of a fisherman, but he has plenty of laughs, keeping spirits high all the time.
After 5 days at sea, the Hermes drops Ian off at the remote Spitsbergen islands, where he boards the 1950s-era Arctic cruise ship Stockholm, which takes a small group of passengers in search of polar bears and other wildlife. Spitsbergen's rich wildlife and historical significance in Arctic exploration are highlighted, including visits to sites used for North Pole expeditions. Roald Amundsen launched from Spitsbergen in 1926, becoming the first person to reach both Poles. Ian also explores Danskoya Island, where a Swedish attempt to reach the North Pole in 1897 ended in disaster. As the Stockholm navigates past stunning Arctic landscapes, it reaches the edge of the pack ice, encountering a variety of wildlife including polar bears, an Arctic fox, and walruses. Ian's journey from Norway to Spitsbergen is an unforgettable adventure.
This series explores some of the planet's most fascinating and hard-core boat journeys. We undertake epic journeys by boat in some of the toughest environments on earth. During our journeys, we look at how the technology of boat travel has been adapted to survive, trade with, and connect isolated communities.

What an incredible journey! Ian Wright’s adventure from Norway to Spitsbergen is both inspiring and educational. The footage of the Arctic landscape and wildlife is breathtaking. Kudos to the crew for capturing such an epic trip! 🌊❄

[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching that!! I really enjoyed the host 🥰 He was a good one handling those fish but I have to give a shout-out to the crew that does that job. Enduring the temps and constant daylight are two things but being out to sea like that has to be a big challenge for them.l also looooved all of the scenery 😍 Just amazingly beautiful.

[@timh4737]

Seeing a live polar bear? On my list. See a taxidermied polar? Done that! Brunswick Maine. Forty years ago! Seeing the two "live" ones on this video made me kinda sad. They sure looked hungry. We all should be aware of,and be held accountable for the extinction of any life on this planet.

[@FreeDocumentary]

We should be aware - agree! Thank you for stopping by. And take care of yourself.

[@paulh7589]

I'm from the Gulf Coast. I would much rather take my chances with a shark or an alligator than a polar bear. Everything I've read about the polar bear makes me want to stay the hell away from them. They are huge, mean, fast, and incapable of negotiation. In my humble opinion the polar bear is the toughest, meanest animal on our planet. They even eat their own children.....That's just flat-out mean. Sharks are horrible at running, gators will surprise you with their short-burst land speed, but a polar bear? The only way to be safe from these monsters is to stay hundreds of miles away from them. They can swim fast, run fast, and they're always hungry. If one want's you for lunch, he will have you for lunch and there's not a damn thing you can do about it.

[@Madhavravi30]

Wow 👏 👌

Should have included the prices in the pub. I live in Stavanger and i know how much it costs here, so I can only imagine the prices there.

Fishing the seas dry is no longer in keeping with the times

[@ingvaldtangen8269]

Some years back I may have been afraid of that, but not now. There is quotas, and the Coast Guard is always around. I feel the government's did learn from the overfishing of herring back in the 60’s and 70’s

[@mikepeuker]

@@ingvaldtangen8269 Take a look at the state of our oceans. All scientists and marine biologists will confirm that it's actually already too late. Overfishing, climate catastrophe, eutrophication, warming, plastic pollution....... It's hard to understand why there is still such a big fishing lobby. People today have enough to eat without fish, apart from a few indigenous peoples perhaps. Therefore, there can only be one decision if you want to do something about species extinction and for the sea, and that is to do without animal products. This is the only way to ensure that our children can still enjoy biodiversity. I don't want to bring any additional ethical reasons for not killing fish into play here and now.
