His second attempt (which resulted in Nanook) began on June 18th, 1920. He travelled to Cape Dufferin on northeastern Hudson Bay . He established his base and laboratory there. He brought with him 75,000 ft of film, a Haulberg electric light plant and projector, plus two Akeley cameras and a printing machine. He shot all of the footage himself. Hope this helps. Rolf W.
