Mark Coatsworth travels the Arctic!!!

[David Gold]

For those of you who didn't know, Toronto area fan of metal and photographer extrordinaire Mark Coatsworth has been packpacking accross the arctic all summer. No shit! See his blog:

Here's a sample:
"78 degrees North, August 21st, 2006, I am in Svalbard. This is the coldest, blackest, bleakest place… ever."

+ Note all the metal and Viking references in blog entry titles, etc...

Fucking awesome, eh? I believe he comes home in a couple weeks. But seriously, go read about where he has been and what he has done...and what foreign beers he drank, and when he drank them! I'm sure he will come back with some of the most grim landscape photos we have ever seen.

Very cool, especially that he named the blog after Immortal's most epic sounding track (IMO)....can't wait to see the photographs of the arctic cold waste...
