Synopsis

In a revealing journey to Svalbard, the northernmost locale in the series, Steve Backshall explores every facet of a landscape locked in ice for much of the year. A place of cold, shadow, and an undeniable sense of foreboding, Svalbard shelters the world's largest land predator and the northernmost population of large herbivores. Yet, it is in a realm far removed from the icy expanse that Steve uncovers the true heart of this remarkable environment.
