Taal: nld
Categorie: Documentaire

Three-part series following pioneering Alaskans, both animal and human, as they battle the elements and reap the benefits of nature's seasonal gold rush. One of the most iconic wildernesses on the planet, Alaska is America's last frontier and by far its biggest state. It has deep forests and vast mountain ranges, and a third of it sits above the Arctic Circle. In this wild place, grizzly bears grow big on a sudden wealth of salmon, and a huge male moose finds unlikely ways to impress a female. This episode looks at how surviving the bone-chilling cold, deadly blizzards and darkness of an Alaskan winter takes courage, cunning and remarkable endurance. In the raw beauty of windswept mountain peaks, icy tundra and snowbound forests, this is the story of the tough and resourceful characters that face up to the ultimate challenges of this untameable land.
