Abstract:

A successful entrepreneur, looking for a new energy source. A jet-setting athlete, looking for a way to put Taiwan on the map. A college student, looking for life's answers. Carrying with them their own dreams as well as the hopes of Taiwan, Albert, Kevin, and Jason came to the Arctic, competing against extreme sports athletes from all over the world. Their challenge: To be the first team to walk the entire 600 meter path to the Arctic Circle, through some of the most treacherous environment on the planet. Along the way, the teams encounter hypothermia, frostbite, attacks by polar bears, and other surprise. As participants start to falter along the way, who will be the last team standing at the end of the minus-40 degrees Celsius, 600-meter-long, 21-day travel that takes you beyond the Arctic?
