00:00 It's an absolute sensation.

00:07 Oh wow!

00:10 How about that?

00:13 It's an old Indian trail.

00:16 It's an incredible road.

00:20 How unbelievable is this?

00:25 It's like being on another planet.

00:32 Whoa!

00:35 That is extraordinary.

00:42 The key to it all is to remain elegant and cool.

00:49 The key to it all is to remain elegant and cool.

00:57 Like the man said.

01:09 There's an outstanding thing about Canada.

01:13 The first impression you get is, my God, there's nobody here.

01:18 There's a breadth and a height to the Arctic that just has to be seen and felt and heard to be believed.

01:28 It is the most extraordinary corner of the world.

01:31 It's every bit as dramatic as going deep into water.

01:35 It's every bit as foreign as that when you find yourself confronted with enormous space and a silence that you think you can hear.

01:44 You just have to listen, listen to it.

01:50 And it isn't nothing. Nothing doesn't sound like that.

01:55 I know roughly where we're going-ish.

01:58 And I'm kind of scared to look because the length of time just frightens the life out of me, you know.

02:05 The world's a wonderful place. We've got to look at it lovingly and hopefully.

02:09 I'm looking at it as a pal, an old friend.

02:14 I never thought I would do anything like this in my life.

02:17 There's a great deal of hope out there. It's not all bleak.

02:23 The scenery's fine, but if there's no people involved, I get bored quickly.

02:28 I like people.

02:30 Yeah, we're doing a northwest passage. We're going right over the top of Canada.

02:35 Yes, perfect! Perfect!

02:40 Now you probably saw the movie where Leonardo DiCaprio played Jack Dawson, the great lover who drowned towards the end of the movie.

02:50 Well, they think that he's in there. The grave just says, "J. Dawson."

02:56 But it's a guy called Joseph Dawson.

02:58 [Music]

03:06 I like people who laugh easily and readily.

03:09 And I've been blessed with an ability to communicate with strangers.

03:13 [Mumbling]

03:17 That joke is really interesting.

03:21 Can I move in with you?

03:23 Anytime.

03:25 [Laughter]

03:29 I seem to have a talent for finding that funny angle on things.

03:33 [Laughter]

03:34 That's my favourite!

03:36 For me, it's a perfectly normal angle, and I love doing it.

03:39 Something just jumped on your back!

03:41 [Laughter]

03:42 There's something living inside your jacket!

03:45 [Waves crashing]

03:54 Bad weather, as it's popularly known, can be spectacularly beautiful.

03:59 Holy moly!

04:04 You can do great things to your head and your hair and your clothes.

04:08 Your voice, you know, you have to shout a certain way to be heard.

04:12 It changes the whole texture of the thing.

04:15 It's always nice, isn't it, to see a whale? It's always such a privilege.

04:22 It's staggering up there, you know. It really is extraordinary and kind of bleak and weird.

04:28 And it's going to get a lot weirder.

04:30 And the weirder it gets, the happier I become.

04:36 You ain't seen nothing yet.

04:39 [Waves crashing]

04:41 [Silence]
