Watching the IMAX film Great North is an adventure in itself. It is the first step to learning more about an unfamiliar environment and the often misunderstood people who live there. It is a guaranteed surprise for anyone who lives south of the Arctic Circle ! But what exactly do we know about this inhospitable environment ? Why has it been chosen by some people as their homeland ? And how do human beings survive in this harsh climate ?

This work unveils the simple answers to these and many other questions. Many secrets of the peoples of the Great North, the animals that they live among, and their surrounding environment are revealed. Written in a dynamic style, this work discusses various aspects of the Arctic environment and its inhabitants, through texts and complementary activities.

Friends for many years, Stéphane Tanguay and Quentin van Ginhoven have combined their efforts to help you fully discover this fascinating universe. With ten years' experience as a biologist and naturalist/interpreter, Stéphane has explored many regions in Quebec, helping to establish educational projects for people of all ages. Quentin is also a biologist, and a regular traveller to the Great North. His northern field experience and local knowledge are a welcome contribution to this work.

Put on your parka and get set for an exciting voyage !
