Arctic With Bruce Parry - Season 1 (2011)

Bruce Parry immerses himself in the remote communities of the Arctic where he experiences first-hand how the people of this wild world live and how these ancient ways of life may be about to come to an end for ever. The Arctic is on the point of enormous, irreversible change. The effects of global warming are magnified in this area, as the sea ice is melting, new land is appearing and with it, fresh boundaries are being drawn. Indigenous ways of life that have remained virtually unchanged for millennia will cease within our lifetimes - but for others, the untold riches of the oil, gas and minerals slowly being revealed under the polar ice cap promise countless opportunities.
