The Muskox is a unique looking mammal that can only be found in the Arctic Circle. It’s thick coat and thick build has adapted over thousands of years to acclimate to the Arctic’s harsh climate. By the look of them, you may assume they are related to the bison, but they are actually more closely related to the goat or the sheep. Their ancestors are thought to have come to North America from Eurasia through the Bering Land Bridge some 200,000 years ago.
Rolf Steinmann, director of the beautiful film “In Between”, captured this ancient creature in their natural and frozen habitat. In the film he follows the mystical beasts through the frozen tundra, building the dramatic scenes with shots of frigid mountain ranges, blistering wind, and a desolate, frozen earth before unveiling the Muskoxen’s wooly stature and venerable beauty. “In Between” premiered internationally in Warsaw Film Festival in October and nabbed an audience award at the Greenscreen Festival earlier this year.

It’s great that you are getting thoughts from this post as well as from our
dialogue made at this place.
Someone necessarily lend a hand to make severely posts I might state.
That is the very first time I frequented your web page
and to this point? I surprised with the research you made to
create this actual submit extraordinary. Magnificent activity!
I think that everything said made a ton of sense.
However, what about this? what if you typed a catchier post title?
I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your website, but
what if you added something to maybe grab folk’s attention? I
mean Dramatic Film Follows The Mythical Looking Arctic Muskox In Their
Frozen Habitat – Resource Travel is a little boring.
You ought to glance at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they write news titles to get people to click.
You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to
get readers interested about what you’ve got to say.
Just my opinion, it would make your blog a little livelier.
I love it whenever people get together and share thoughts.
