Wonders of the Arctic
Enter a sparkling world of ice and snow, where polar bears tussle, huskies howl, and narwhals dive through turquoise waters. In this wilderness at the top of the world, tiny flowers blossom in the brief but brilliant summer, and whales breach in an iceberg-studded ocean.
Wonders of the Arctic is a story of survival in one of the most unforgiving environments on Earth — an environment dominated by a single element: ice. Majestic yet dangerous, life-giving yet treacherous, ice affects the fortunes of every living thing in the Arctic.
In this era of warming temperatures and melting ice, will plants and animals adapt or perish? Follow scientists and Inuit elders as they explore the changing landscape of this harsh and beautiful frontier.
