47894 FATHER HUBBARD THE GLACIER PRIEST BLUE ICE ALASKA TRAVELOGUE

Produced by the Shell Lake Boat Company in Shell Lake, Wisconsin, “Highway to Adventure” is a 1950s-era color film that accompanies Alaskan explorer Father Bernard Hubbard (“The Glacier Priest”). The film opens in a southeastern Alaska (mark 01:16) Flowers bloom and bees collect honey before the camera takes us to a nearby dock at mark 02:00 and crews ready two Shell Lake cabin cruisers for their journey into a nearby fiord. Their Johnson-brand motor cuts through the water as the viewer’s treated to countless scenes of nature including an eagle taking flight from a treetop perch (mark 05:20) and a stranded iceberg near a waterfall (mark 06:52) where the crew considers making land. They set up camp beginning at mark 09:25 (with numerous “product placement” references) and move into the wilderness by mark 13:18 with Fr. Hubbard stopping to offer Catholic mass at mark 13:52. They go on to pass snowcapped mountains (mark 17:40) and startlingly blue icebergs twisted grotesquely in the frigid water, and break off chunks at mark 22:50 to cool crabs that they had captured earlier. Passing into the heart of a fiord they encounter their objective at mark 26:15 — menacing, giant icebergs exhibiting countless shades of blue passing in review.
