Episode 7: Arctic: Frozen Frontier
Summary
Steve and his team of explorers head to Greenland in the Arctic. Kayaking the world's largest fjord, they dodge giant icebergs and hungry polar bears.
Review
Steve Backshall and the gang arrive in Greenland, coincidentally in the news recently after President Donald Trump declared he wanted to buy it from Denmark. The team kayaks up the Scoresbysund fjord (named after North Yorkshire-born explorer William Scoresby).
But as they camp on the ice, they invade someone else’s territory. A cry of “A polar bear is coming!” goes up and everyone is on alert. The beast is clearly hungry, the seal population has dropped dramatically and there’s little for it to eat. So a television crew must look tasty. The bear comes very close and Backshall is at pains to point out that no one wants to shoot it; this is its home, after all.
