Canadian extreme divers and cinematographers Jill Heinerth and Mario Cyr on a journey to investigate how Arctic wildlife is adjusting to global warming.
Their journey starts in June 2018 at the majestic floe edge of Nunavut's Tallurutiup Imanga, or Lancaster Sound, which lies the eastern entrance of the fabled Northwest Passage. They travel on the breaking ice floe, dive with belugas and narwhals in the open Arctic Ocean, and explore the underside of the sea ice coated in algae, the source of around half of the oxygen on the planet.
Their next stop is Disko Bay in Greenland, where they visit Jakobshavn, a mammoth glacier that has shed thousands of gigantic icebergs into the sea. They also flirt with danger as they dive down to look at the underside of icebergs, discovering a world of tiny, bioluminescent forms of life, and observe the changing migration patterns of marine mammals.
Their journey ends in Nunavut's Naujaat region, located on the Arctic Circle and home to some of the planet's largest polar bears. With most of the ice gone for the summer, it's the perfect place to swim with the supreme predator of the Arctic. Heinerth and Cyr consider how these animals will cope with an ice-free environment.
