- Artist Cory Trépanier embarks on a 100km+ hiking journey for 2 weeks in the dramatic landscapes of Auyuittuq National Park on Baffin Island. Accompanied by his 19 year old daughter Sydney, he seeks to begin new paintings plein air for his internationally touring INTO THE ARCTIC Exhibition. One of the big goals during the hike is to find a view of Mount Asgard for a major new 9 to 10 foot wide painting.

RIP Cory, amazing film really appreciated this, absolutely incredible.
It is at the top of my bucket list to see Mount Thor and Asgard with my own eyes. What an incredible journey. Hope to do it myself someday. Great video.
Thank you Caleb, hope you make it there some day! BTW, if you want to see more of Thor, I spent time painting in front of it in my "Into the Arctic 2" film : tinyurl.com/y5efwj5u.
It's on my bucket list to get there some day .
Who cares about Mt. Everest when this very pristine wilderness is out there ?
Would love to photo musk oxen, polar bears and the northern lights.
Somewhere on the top of the world... so darn cool
Thank you for showing us a magnificent part of the world. Great effort.
Thank you Bernadette
Asgard is incredible, would love to see it up close and personal someday! What a place for a photo shoot, can't imagine a better one. Very artistic family and the memories that were made, fantastic! Thanks for sharing. :) :)
the day i complete this journey is the day i will be content with life
Absolutely stunning. Hope that I can have an adventure with my future kids like you did in this mystical terrain.
Thank you Noah. It was a wonderful way to make memories 😊
Thanks for sharing. My friend and I watched your first journey on DVD at the Parks Canada office in Pangnirtung. We found it as we loitered around for 5 days after finishing Akshayuk Pass in July of 2018.
Very cool connection! Hope you had a great journey!
Oh my gosh, what an absolutely beautiful video. The planet continues to suprise me by its hidden beauty. The sapphire waters and the Bold mountains are gorgeous.
I dont think I'll ever see enough arctic sunsets and sunrises
Boy I hope this exhibit comes back to the east coast of the US, I would LOVE to see it ♥️😱
awesome video cory. nice to see such remote areas of canada
Thank you Michael!
Hey Cory, David Lee here! Great video what an incredible place. I'm sure it was worth the effort to get there. Sorry your other outing didnt work out.
It sure was! Just have to go with the flow :)
I really enjoyed this video, and despite the extreme remoteness, I really felt like the physical experience of your trip is something that I can relate to; is something that I could set out and do if I choose to.
Thank you for this video. I've longed to backpack along this exact trek. I only found it on google earth and it looks amazing. Those mountains and glaciers are wonderful and your art is beautiful!
Hope you make it some day! Thank you for the kind words about my art as well :)
Great movie, really enjoyed it. l thought of going to Baffin Island at the end of the summer (with the wife), but the scenery is so similar to Scandinavia (after all, both are Arctic regions) and the flights SO expensive that we may pass. We'll see!
Beautiful adventure! I was under the impression that you needed a guide to backpack here? How real is the bear danger there? Definitely a bucket list trek for me!
Thanks! Due to time of year, and the environment of the pass, polar bear encounters are very unlikely. However, it's the Arctic and, realistically, bears know no bounds. One must alway be vigilant in scanning the land far ahead, and camp appropriately (low scent, food away from tents, etc). The level of one's backcountry proficiency and comfort would dictate if travelling with a guide would be advisable. Not for first time hikers on their own!
RIP, your legacy will always inspire future generations to come
Magnificent - the name from Viking mythology is very fitting - and the Vikings actually visited this stark island!
I love your videos. As a painter, I admire your spirit of adventure to go to these magnificent places. Will you have another feature film coming out?
Thank you Linda! Yes, our distributor is currently working on finding a home for "Into the Arctic: Awakening", the final film in my Arctic trilogy. Once that happens, we'll tell the world where they can watch :)
Amazing footage!
I bet there's a good story on how your friend Billy managed to get a 30' Airstream trailer all the way up there.
Only 2 seasons - Winter and Bug season.
That's actually not Billy's Airstream, but another fellow from the community, so I did not get the full story. But yeah, that sure caught my attention when I saw it!!
Inspirational.
Thank you Cromwell :)
@@CoryTrepanier I've started painting since watching this, small things bigger every day I've tried this place twice now. It is weird but it calls me.
Trepaniers, I'm one of those place name nerds who's very curious about how the national park is pronounced. I think I heard 3 syllables--eye-WE-tuck. Is that correct, or is there an 'uh' between 'eye' and 'we'? Also, how does this differ from the "nearby" town with nearly the same spelling, and otherwise known as Grise Fiord? Thanks/Merci.
How much did it cost to get to Auyuittuq National Park?
Makes me excited for the return of winter here! Saw his last exhibition and loved it. I think the film would be better if they didn't include all the glamor shots of his daughter, though. I mean, good for her -- she's pretty, but it didn't seem to fit the theme of the trip or film.
I should have mentioned on the opening of the story that the photo shoots were one of the goals on this journey as she's an aspiring model. It's a father/daughter story too: supporting each others passions :)
Did you see the northern lights on your adventure?
Not on this one, but have on others :)
Amazing views as always. Question: How do you keep your electronics/cameras charged for 2wks out in the middle of no where? :)
We carried a small folding solar panel and battery by Goal Zero. Adds to the weight, but makes it all possible! We did get a stretch of over cast rainy weather though, and almost lost all power.
Would have been a nice film if the girl didn't think it was about her
Modelling session above the Arctic Circle? Now I can say I've seen it all. Sorry, but ridiculous.
