“Stalk the Arctic ice with the fiercest predator, the polar bear, as it prowls one of the most forbidding places on the planet, a hidden kingdom of magnificent creatures”

Only the strong survive at the top of the world. Armed with a keen sense of smell and backed up by 1,700 pounds of fur and fangs, the polar bear stands alone at the top of the food chain. Yet many other hunters manage to survive in and around harsh Arctic waters, from the savvy arctic fox to the massive, whiskered walrus.

The Arctic ice is revealed as a place of danger and drama where animals are stranded on frozen waters, trapped between moving sheets of ice, and caught in the struggle to survive. We are treated to wonderful scenes of a pod of narwhales, ‘the unicorns of the sea’, with their amazing 10ft long tusk. Their struggle to survive after being trapped by the ice brings home the harsh reality of the arctic.

Brave the world that nature has to offer for a rare visit to the Arctic Kingdom: Life At The Edge.
