Arctic Swell – Surfing the Ends of the Earth

Photographer Chris Burkard and Professional Surfers Patrick Millin, Brett Barley, and Chadd Konig brave sub-zero temperatures in the Arctic Circle to capture moments of raw beauty in conditions that rank among the harshest in the natural world. The bitterly cold seas and wind exact a large price on their minds and bodies, but the reward – adventure, amazement, and self-knowledge – draws them closer together and pushes them to tackle the next frontier in surfing.

One of the most beautiful videos I have ever seen. Inspiring. Keep going Chris.

Justin Hopkins says:

So many boring people here who don't understand why people would travel to surf other locations. Damn, go to your local shitty beach for the rest of your life and the rest of us will explore the world. I can't imagine being such a boring, non-adventurous person. Get out of your little bubbles.

Hi guys! what the music sounds here?

Jeremy Hack says:

By the way, what "town" (likely not a town) did these guys stay? It seems that arranging a trip to the arctic is intense and difficult. I didn't think there were any non-scientific settlements in the Arctic really. How did they get a vehicle? So many questions.

Jeremy Hack says:

Good lord this is beautiful. Thank you. I consider it a masterpiece.
