"Step by Step to the Summit" by Bernard Voyer, O.C., C.Q.

The first time I saw Everest, its peak was thrusting through the clouds and a terrible storm was raging up there. To climb this mountain didn't seem humanly possible. Later I realized that the only way to make it was to divide the journey into smaller steps, into hours or even seconds. That the way to climb Everest was one step at a time."
- Bernard Voyer

Bernard Voyer takes the audience step by step, through his breathtaking photography, on a trek to the North and South poles, Mount Everest and other high points on the planet. Enjoy some of the Earth's most extreme and beautiful geography in the company of one of Canada's most recognized adventurers.


"La première fois que j'ai aperçu l'Everest, son sommet perçait les nuages et une puissante temptête y faisait rage. Gravir cette montagne m'apparaissait humainement impossible. Je réalisai plus tard que la seule façon d'y arriver serait de la découper en étapes, en heures, en secondes meme, que l'Everest se grimperait un pas à la fois."
- Bernard Voyer

Avec des images à couper le souffle, Bernard Voyer vous fera voyager au pôle Nord et au pôle Sud, à l'Everest ainsi qu'au plus haut sommet de chaque continent. Venez admirer la beauté et la fragilité de la Terre en compagnie de l'un des explorateurs canadiens les plus renommés.
