Unless there's a different edit, most of the photography is of the husband and wife team trying (unsuccessfully) to keep up with the caribou migration to their calving grounds in the Arctic Wildlife preserve in Alaska and worrying about being consumed by the bears they come across along the way. Why bring a rifle as last resort bear repellent when you can just worry, pray, make a little noise and hope for the best? There is no mystery as to where this particular herd goes in its annual migration as Inuit and Northern Cree have hunted the caribou for meat for eons.
