This summer, MEN’S FITNESS and HUMANFITPROJECT will be documenting the nationwide expedition of Nick Uthe, the owner and creative director of Boss Imagery, along with fellow photographer and adventure-hunter Sam Axness. This is the beginning of their journey.

THE EXPEDITION

Explore the North will be the road trip any wanderlust traveler could dream of and is set to take place on May 11th, 2016. Nick Uthe and Sam Axness will set out on a cross-country photographic excursion inspired by the Canadian National Motto, “Mari Usque ad Mare.” This Latin saying loosely translates into, “from sea to sea,” and this is exactly what we’re set out to accomplish. They duo will be driving a massive 10,000 mile loop from Nova Scotia all the way to Vancouver and back again visiting as many places possible along the way. The best part about it is that they’re inviting all of you to join, whether that means following them on social media or actually getting the chance to camp and hike together!

Explore the North will be this summer’s greatest North American road trip of the year.
