Immersive you family in a 3D world Wonders of the Arctic
Set in the frozen wilderness at the top of the world, Wonders of the Arctic tells the story of survival in one of the most unforgiving environments on earth dominated by a single element: ice. Faraway in this glittering world of ice and snow, polar bears tussle, huskies howl and narwhals dive within the turquoise waters. Through compelling stories told by scientists and Inuit leaders, viewers will discover the impact of ice on the Arctic’s inhabitants, both animals and humans. For thousands of years, the Inuit and their predecessors have adapted and thrived in the beautiful yet harsh climates of the Arctic. Today, their survival has inspired scientists to conduct intense research and answer troubling questions about living in this fragile and largely uninhabited landscape.
