What this video covers
Juho and Sohvi Kangasluoma winter their boat in the ice in Greenland, utilizing snow piled against the hull for insulation.0:20 To maintain heat, they partition the main cabin with canvas, centralizing their living, sleeping, and working areas around a gravity-fed diesel stove.7:34 The boat’s freshwater system is decommissioned due to freezing temperatures; the crew collects snow in a dedicated shovel and melts it in a large pot on the stove for water.3:29 A seawater pump remains operational because the intake sits below the 50-centimeter-thick ice.11:43 Perishables are stored in various zones: root vegetables and apples stay in a guest cabin kept near freezing, while frozen goods are kept in an outdoor freezer.15:33 The crew uses a snowmobile for occasional transport to town and to access nearby mountains.1:03 Electricity comes from solar panels, supplemented by a gas generator when sunlight is insufficient.2:53 The composting toilet remains functional, though the head's sink and plumbing are frozen.14:17
