Internet from Space, for humans in the Arctic
Into the Arctic
Our journey took us deep into the Arctic, following Dinos, an avid hunter, and Syzula, a dogsledder, as they navigated life on the sea ice. With ski-doos, sled dogs, and cameras in tow, we captured slices of their lives — the rhythms of hunting, sledding, and surviving in one of the harshest climates on Earth.
“Internet from space, for humans in the Arctic.” — the Starlink story in action.
The Challenges
Filming in Iqaluit wasn’t just about the stunning landscapes; it was a logistical and environmental challenge.
Extreme cold — cameras, drones, and crew had to be carefully managed to keep equipment working and people safe.
Sea ice navigation — moving across shifting, unpredictable ice required constant vigilance.
Sled dogs & crew coordination — balancing animal welfare, camera angles, and travel schedules demanded precision and flexibility.
Safety, warmth, and sustenance — keeping a motivated, energized crew in Arctic conditions is no small feat.
Every moment required planning and adaptability. Yet, the raw beauty and human stories made it all worthwhile.
Capturing the Story
The goal was clear: document how Starlink is helping Inuit communities stay connected. Through the lens, we showed how Dinos and Syzula rely on Starlink to communicate, work, and stay safe — all while living a life that’s both ancient and modern.
We used a mix of ground-based shots, sled-mounted cameras, and aerial drone footage to capture the scale of the ice, the intimacy of daily routines, and the power of connectivity in the Arctic.
Behind the Scenes
Early mornings began with frost-covered gear and steaming cups of coffee.
Every sled ride was a choreography of dogs, snow, ice, and cameras.
The crew shared moments around small fires, celebrating shots captured, and the resilience of the people and the landscape.
“Starlink has changed our lives out on the land. Just hook it up, and it works.” — Syzula
The Result
In three short days, we created more than a human portrait, we captured a bridge between tradition and technology, a slice of resilience, connection, and innovation. Starlink’s mission to bring the internet to the most remote corners of the world became tangible through the lives of Dinos, Syzula, and the Arctic community.
The project reminded us why we travel, endure extreme conditions, and tell stories: to show how technology and human spirit intersect in unexpected, beautiful ways.
