Sharon Pieczenik and Dr. Steven Amstrup met through Polar Bears International during the 2006 bear season.  This interview was shot on the Tundra Buggy Lodge out on the tundra.  It would have been preferable to shoot the interview outside on the deck of the lodge, however it is extremely windy in Churchill and the surrounding areas.  Working in the tundra poses some very interesting problems when aiming for clean video and sound...but the challenges make the job exciting (if not a bit stressful).
