CBC's "The Nature of Things" just aired the first episode of "Arctic Mission" -- a five-part series on the effects of climate change and industrialization on the Arctic.
cbc.ca

Last night's episode was super -- and will be rebroadcast on Sunday, Feb 1st. (See broadcast schedule for all episodes in series: cbc.ca

In The Great Adventure, filmmakers Jean Lemire and Thierry Piantanida, and the crew of the Sedna IV undertake a five-month, 21,000-kilometer scientific mission to record the impact of global warming on the Arctic. In the stunning documentary, the crew navigates a three-mast ship through the legendary Northwest Passage - a treacherous, ice-filled channel that captured the imaginations of great explorers for centuries.

The section on the retreat of the northern pack ice which the Polar Bear and Walrus depend on was pretty incredible. Also the section shot in the Beaufort Sea showing the melting of the permafrost and release of methane into the atmosphere.

Next part of the show to be aired on Feb. 4:
Award-winning THE NATURE OF THINGS director and wildlife specialist Caroline Underwood provides an in-depth examination of Arctic wildlife through the eight seasons of Inuit culture in Lords of the Arctic. The extraordinary footage of the region's seasonal and permanent residents - polar bears, thick-billed murres, bowhead whales, muskox, caribou and plankton - is a rare source of information on the effects of climate change on wildlife. Airing February 4 at 7 p.m.

IMO, this series will be well worth watching.
