Martin Hartley - Another Day in the Office

Martin Hartley photographing me at -45 degrees C. in Resolute Bay, Arctic Canada this spring.

This was a couple of days before my departure for Ward Hunt Island, the start point for my North Pole speed record attempt this year and we were busy getting some decent footage and photgraphy for my sponsor. Martin took a few hundred photos in the space of a couple of days, and his brand spanking new Nikon D3 (to my amazement) never missed a beat. You can see (and hear) how cold it was - Martin got the camera stuck to his nose at one point, an unexpected occupational hazard in those climes.

There's a HD (High Definition) version of the video on my Vimeo page.
