In attempting to travel from southern Quebec to its northernmost point by bicycle and skis, adventurers Samuel Lalande-Markon and Simon-Pierre Goneau explore not only the vast frozen landscape but also the complex relationship Quebecers have with it. Their journey first takes them along the great northern highways, built to facilitate access to natural resources, and then into the white expanses of Eeyou Istchee and Nunavik, where they meet members of the Cree and Inuit communities. Over the course of their nearly 3,000-km expedition, the land reveals itself to them in all its splendor and power, gradually becoming less abstract and more real.
