A group of 27 artists, scholars, and scientists set sail through the Svalbard archipelago on an Artist and Science Residency aboard a three-masted wooden vessel, joined by a small crew and an old husky named Hildago. What began as an expedition to document the Arctic transformed into a life-altering experience, instilling in its participants an urgent responsibility to share the story of this sacred, vanishing world. Follow artist Leonor Anthony on a remarkable journey into the Arctic, where art and exploration converge to illuminate one of Earth's most fragile environments. Through breathtaking images of glaciers, sculptural ice formations, and remote polar landscapes, Ice Breaking reveals both the beauty and vulnerability of a rapidly changing world. As Anthony documents the Arctic through her artistic lens, the film explores the profound relationship between humanity and nature, inviting viewers to reflect on climate change, environmental stewardship, and the passage of time. More than a visual journey, Ice Breaking is an inspiring exploration of creativity, resilience, and our shared responsibility to protect the planet.A group of 27 artists, scholars, and scientists set sail through the Svalbard archipelago on an Artist and Science Residency aboard a three-masted wooden vessel, joined by a small crew and an old husky named Hildago.
