Into the Cold at the Tribeca Film Festival

Angered and disgusted about climate change, environmentalist and photographer Sebastian Copeland decided to do more than switch his bulbs to CFLs and opt for paper instead of plastic: he would commemorate Robert Peary's 1909 expedition to the North Pole by walking 400 miles through one of the harshest, bleakest environments on earth. Using his Canon 5D Mark 2 (he kept spare batteries in his armpit so they wouldn't completely freeze), he shot stills and video, tremendous footage of a landscape most of us will never see, in part because it's likely to be totally gone in the next few years.
