Let’s take a moment to travel back to the turn of the millennium. It was 1999, a gallon of gas was $1.22, Napster had just been released, Britney Spears was on the top 100, Bill Clinton was on trial for impeachment, and half of the world was in a panic that the Y2k computer glitch would end society as we know it. Times were interesting, to say the least, and most of us didn’t even notice the seven adventurers who were about to make history on Greenland, the largest island in the world. These experienced guides, travelers, and mechanics planned to be the first people to drive coast to coast over the country’s frigid and unforgiving ice cap, demonstrating the versatility of the modern 4×4. Their vehicles of choice were 80 Series Land Cruisers built by Arctic Trucks, and they were loaded with all of the latest and greatest gear of the time. The ensuing journey was certainly one for the history books, and as it turns out is highly entertaining to watch even today. We hope you enjoy every adventure filled, cheesy ’90s music-packed moment of this documentary; we certainly did.
