He plans to record the Inuit and Sami people's lives before their languages and traditional lifestyle give way to modern civilization. He has been to 103 Arctic settlements in eight countries so far and plans to visit more than 200 settlements in the next eight to 10 years.

"I will make a cultural and ecological white paper for the Arctic. I want the coming generations to see a real Arctic and its beauty," he says.
