In the first scene of \"The Spy Who Loved Me\", James Bond is chased by the \"bad\" guys while skiing fast down a slope ending in a bottomless abyss. At the last instant he leaps into the void and a parachute with the Brithish flag opens. The whole scene is filmed in the Alps, but the jump into the precipice perfomed by a stuntman is from the impressive Mount Asgard located on Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic.
Images of this \"canine\" shaped stone 1,200 metres of vertical drop recorded by Jose Naranjo on Akshayukk Pass 2008 and Penny Icecap 2009 expeditions carried out with Ingrid Ortlieb.
