    The industrial activity one is especially fascinating - where did you get the data from?

    We have been gathering good flyover footage for our film, "Fractured Land", Kevin, and have supplied to Canadian media as well for their stories and documentaries. You'll see some of this footage in my recent presentation ay the Vancouver International Mountain Film Fest - which I'm editing together as we speak.

    Good post.

    There is a disturbing lack of flyover footage for this reason. Doing so would allow for people to get their heads around the level of activity occurring in these regions.
