Flying with the ice pilots of Buffalo Air in Yellowknife, North West Territories. Temperature: minus 40.
Rick: “I can barely move—that’s my challenge today. I’ve got so many layers, and then with the snow pants and boots and the jacket and the layers …”
Ice pilot: “It’s not really about the layers. It’s about how smart you are when you’re outside.”
Rick: “Then I’m done. They’ll just find my corpse, and that will be the end of the piece.”
