FEATURES

22_OOGAH_BOOGAH SAID THE MORA TREE
The Burro-Burro River winds inland from Guyana’s populated coastal region deep under a myth-inspiriing canopy of green. Home to psychoactive bark, howler monkeys, caimans and killer otters - not to mention bush doctors - there are few journeys as spellbinding as river-tripping Guyana’s talking rainforest.

34_THE LAST HUNTER
Greenland’s dramatic, mountainous east coast was once a paradise for Inuit hunters. But changing times and changing climate have altered that reality dramatically. A 40-day kayak through one of the world’s forgotten fjords.

49_ROAD TRIPS ‘04
OUTPOST hits the Canadian roads, from British Columbia to the Maritimes, scouting the best trails and tunes, peaks and parks, beaches and kitsch. We also drop in with ultimate road warrior Garry Sowerby.

52_KURDISH EXPRESS
April 2003 - the second Iraq War has just begun. Two Canadian jounalists in Turkey are looking for a way into the warzone. With the aid of Kurdish smugglers they’ll make the dangerous passage on backroads, through checkpoints and over mountains. In buses, ice cream trucks and on foot. Call it the world’s most dangerous road trip.
