LONGER SYNOPSIS Photographer Tom Murphy has dedicated his life to speaking out for the wildlife of Yellowstone. In the dead of winter, Murphy treks deep into the Park to document the lives and struggles of those who survive there. His remarkable photographs capture both the magnificence of Yellowstone and one man's tenacious dedication to protect what is still wild. As the only person known to have traversed the length of Yellowstone National Park solo in winter, Murphy is driven by curiosity and a yearning to experience nature in its raw form. He has experienced Yellowstone at its most brutal and beautiful moments. With a minimalist approach to gear, a keen sense of direction and a passion for wild places, Murphy takes us on a voyage that borders on the spiritual and asks each of us to consider the value of preserving the wild.
