Klondike was shot on location, and the cinematography is spectacular, so much so that its almost like watching a top-grade travel documentary at times. As jaw-dropping as the visuals are, though, were always reminded of how remote and potentially deadly the Klondike was at the end of the 19th century. The camera swoops over nearly vertical mountain ridges, and down into impossibly deep ravines. The blinding purity of a lake of snow and ice nestled between two mountains is broken only by a tiny dot of black, moving slowly. As the camera descends, the dot becomes a man, standing on the foot boards of his dog sled, heading into the white unknown.
