Canada and Alaska - synonymous with wild nature, freedom and adventure, encounters with bears, moose, whales and dancing northern lights.

In search of untouched wilderness, travel journalist Pascal Violo explores the Rocky Mountains and Denali National Park. He circumnavigates the summit of the "coldest mountain in the world" in a small propeller plane. Together with his family, Violo crosses the Inside Passage, a deserted island world in south-east Alaska, on a sailing boat.

As a river nomad, Pascal Violo paddles 800 km through the eternal forests of Canada along the Yukon, the longest free-flowing river in the world. After an adventurous encounter with a bear at his tent, he finally reaches Dawson City and explores the history of the gold seekers around Jack London.

On a Pow Wow, Violo experiences the fascinating world of indigenous cultures and immerses himself in colorful dances and rituals. At the end of his expeditions, a highlight awaits him in the Arctic at Hudson Bay: the travel photographer observes polar bears at close range and understands the fragile connection between man and nature.
