Ice and Fire

Episode 3 of 3

Scandinavia鈥檚 extremes have been shaped by ice and fire, but it鈥檚 the sun that reigns here. Polar bears, musk oxen and Arctic foxes must survive from the polar night to the midnight sun.

Scandinavia鈥檚 northern extremes have been shaped by ice and fire, but it鈥檚 the sun that reigns over these frozen kingdoms. Here, musk oxen, polar bears and Arctic foxes must endure the long, dark polar night, but in spring, the sun鈥檚 return ignites a dramatic transformation in the landscape and heralds the return of thousands of migrant visitors.

Under the midnight sun, the north bursts into a sleepless rush of life and opportunity, a race against time to raise a family, but for some, it鈥檚 the summer heat which brings the greatest dangers before the first frost and winter鈥檚 welcome return.
