What the creator captured
National Geographic followed Gordon Ramsay as he braved the brutal winter conditions of Southeast Alaska to explore indigenous ingredients and survival techniques. His most memorable moment involved tasting local delicacies like moose sausages and smoked salmon at the summit of a mountain during a freezing whiteout. The experience highlighted the extreme lengths Alaskans go to for foraging, including scaling cliffs for medicinal lichen.
