A unique exploration into how climate change is affecting the animals and people of the polar regions and what that might mean for the rest of us.

In Spring, the Polar animals must mate and fall pregnant quickly to ensure the survival of their young before the end of the very short summer.

In Summer, there is 24 hour daylight in the Poles. The land becomes green and productive, and there is an abundance of food for the baby animals.

As Autumn draws near, the Polar animals must fatten up, finish raising their young, and take the opportunity to play and socialise.

As a super-freeze spreads and darkness descends on the poles, the snow and ice become surprising allies for some animals.

A story of exploration and modern-day adventure, this episode reveals how human ingenuity enables us to survive at the Poles.
