National Geographic-White Wolf



































On Canada's Ellesmere Island, on the tundra 500 miles south of the North Pole, award-winning photographer Jim Brandenburg and biologist David Mech gain the confidence of a pack of arctic wolves and are allowed to spend the summer months filming their behavioral patterns. Released in 1988, this video still stands as remarkable documentation of humankind's first interaction with the isolated white wolf. Never persecuted or hunted by humans, they are more tolerant than other wolves to their human observers. In fact, Brandenburg astonishingly goes into a cave where a mother white wolf is raising her pups and, after several failed attempts, even follows the pack on a hunt. Brandenburg and Mech return for two summers, and their observations reflect a dramatic change in the social structure of the pack. --Cristina Del Sesto


Journey to the snow-covered slopes of Canada's Ellesmere Island to observe a remarkable pack of white arctic wolves. Shielded by their remote and inhospitable climate, these wild animals have not yet learned to fear man. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, an award-winning photographer and veteran biologist team up to achieve scientific and cinematic history by producing WHITE WOLF, the most intimate film about wolf behavior ever made.
