The Frozen North(en)

For more than 30 years a man by the name of Dick Proenneke lived alone in the Alaskan Bush.

The Frozen North is Dick's own filmed account of his life alone in this "One Man's Wilderness", produced from original footage not included in "Alone in the Wilderness" or "Alaska Silence & Solitude".
