This gripping three part series explores the remarkable wildlife that exists in these harsh environments, the people who live and are drawn to these regions, and the pivotal role they play in our planet's future.
To many, the North Pole and the South Pole are icescapes that seem and look very alike-extreme places shaped by similar forces of ice and snow, biting winds and bitter cold. But look closer and you will find they are as opposite as night and day, summer and winter, for the Arctic and Antarctic are literally poles apart.
Life At the Edge explores life in the polar regions. It focuses on polar bears in the Arctic and emperor penguins in the Antarctic, remarkable survival strategies.
Polar People seeks out the people who have made these harsh environments home-the Eskimo, Inuit, Saami and oilworkers of the North and the scientists and explorers of the South.
Secrets of the Crystal Ball discovers the role the Poles play in influencing the rest of the planet, especially in global climate change and the consequences that holds for all of us.
