"Never Stop Exploring": Mercedes-Benz G-Class Outdoor Experience: On a spectacular content creation tour of Canada and Alaska with Mercedes-Benz and The North Face
Mercedes-Benz and the American outdoor equipment supplier #thenorthface went on a spectacular content creation tour through #canada and #alaska together with "German Roamers", the photographic collective. Three members of the German Roamers travelled from Whitehorse in #canada to Anchorage in #alaska in two #mercedesbenz G‑Class in the course of 13 days, recording for #mercedesbenz – in still photos and videos – the #offroad legend in the fascinating surroundings of the American north with its breathtaking panoramas. Photos of unspoilt scenery, the fauna and flora of the American North, spectacular #offroad shots with the G‑Class, and a movie of the tour (http://benz.me/facingthenorth_video) are all available on the #mercedesbenz and #thenorthface social network channels at hashtag #MBfacingthenorth: http://benz.me/facingthenorth_article
On their trip, the three German Roamers photographers Johannes Höhn, Lennart Pagel and Hannes Becker, together with professional filmmaker Mathias von Gostomski, covered more than 3,000 kilometres. The journey started in the Yukon territory of #canada. It continued along the #alaska Highway to Anchorage. The Top of the World, the Denali and the Dempster highways, some of the most attractive roads in North America, were on the schedule. They went on hikes, kayak rides and photo flights to great sights like glaciers or an ice cave. Their companion and guide was Hansjörg Auer, an extreme climber and a member of the professional team from #thenorthface. They went right through the wilderness on foot and by car. The team forded rivers and crossed rough terrain in the two G‑Class vehicles. Endless kilometres on gravel roads, took man and machine to their limits. The G‑Class proved itself as the perfect #offroad and expedition #mercedesbenz vehicle for modern adventurers.
This forefather of all #mercedesbenz off-road vehicles proved to be extremely robust and reliable. With its unique off-road capabilities, it took the photographers safely to the most remote corners of the wilderness. "The German Roamers know just where to find and record the finest and most beautiful motifs off the beaten track. The G‑Class is just the right vehicle to reach these special locations and it fits authentically into the visual imagery," said Natanael Sijanta, Head of Marketing Communication for #mercedesbenz Cars.
This content creation tour was the first joint outdoor tour realised by Mercedes‑Benz and #thenorthface. Both brands have the same high quality standards for their products when it comes to extreme outdoor activities. #thenorthface supported the German Roamers on their trip, providing outdoor clothing, duffle bags, sleeping bags and tents.
