Before he can head out alone into the High Arctic, Mark must first hitch a 60km ride to Polar Bear Pass  with a snowmobile team led by Inuit hunter and guide Devon Manik.  Mark is joined by the SOLO 100 film crew  for one night and one night only as he sets off on a route that has been adjusted in real time thanks to satellite data revealing open water where he expected sea ice.
