Arctic Circle - Episode Two: Battle for the Pole
Description
Climate change is hitting the Arctic harder and faster than any other region
on Earth. Although the North may seem remote from the population centres of
the world, this is where the impact of human activity – sensitive ecosystems
forever altered by climate change – is felt the most.
Shot in HD, in some of the world's most desolate and stunning locations, Arctic
Circle marries dramatic footage with hard science and striking
computer graphics to tell the story of climate change as nobody has seen it
before.
Episode 2 introduces us to some of the people racing to pump oil and gas
from beneath the Arctic seabed. For the engineers constructing ice-breaking
tankers and the crew on the world's northernmost oil rig, this race is all
about excitement, opportunity and new frontiers.
