About Rockies
The Rocky Mountains, also known as the Rockies, are a major mountain range and the largest mountain system in North America. The Rocky Mountains stretch 3,000 mi (4,800 km) in a straight-line distance from the northernmost part of Western Canada, to New Mexico in the Southwestern United States. Depending on differing definitions between Canada and the U.S., its northern terminus is located either in northern British Columbia's Terminal Range south of the Liard River and east of the Trench, or in the northeastern foothills of the Brooks Range/British Mountains that face the Beaufort Sea coasts between the Canning River and the Firth River across the Alaska–Yukon border. Its southernmost point is near the Albuquerque metropolitan area, adjacent to the Rio Grande rift, and north of the Sandia–Manzano Mountain Range, also near Santa Fe, New Mexico. Being the easternmost portion of the North American Cordillera, the Rockies are distinct from the tectonically younger Cascade Range and Sierra Nevada, which both lie farther to its west.

This fish sled, I think, was first described by an explorer called Peter Freyken, and he found some people in a town called Iglulik who were doing this, and the name Iglulik, this is a town that's absolutely in the middle of nowhere, no trees, it's a tiny little island.

Because he'd played him in the film. Exactly. He had to carry the coffin from his original burial place to the Rockies. It was a long distance, yeah. What I said at the start, like long-delayed funeral, we could have just said yes to that.
