Operation Arctic

Originally broadcast live from the Arctic, this series follows the struggles of polar bears living on this frozen tundra and highlights the impact that environmental changes are having on the bears and the changing world around them. Simon Reeve, Kate Humble and Gordon Buchanan examine the effects of climate change and the struggles these bears now face as the sea ice continues to melt at an alarming rate.

The team broadcast from the polar bear capital of the world. In the tiny Canadian town of Churchill, special police officers are tasked to keep the townspeople safe.

Kate talks to some artistic Inuits inspired by the world as it changes in front of their eyes. Meanwhile, Gordon finds out how the town deals with bears.

For two months a year, locals in the Canadian town of Churchill have to share their home with the world's largest terrestrial carnivore. The question is, can bears and people ever make good neighbours?
