Winter
Premiered April 1, 2012
There is no greater challenge for life than winter in the polar regions. In the Arctic, ravens help wolverines find frozen prey beneath the snow, while least weasels chase voles through frozen tunnels. Wolves hunt musk oxen to feed their pups, but the herd is determined to protect their young. In Antarctica, emperor penguins battle the elements to protect their eggs from fierce polar storms, and below the ice, sinister ice stalactites strike the ocean floor with devastating consequences.

Introduction: Making Winter
In winter, polar bears hunt for ring seals, which hide beneath the sea ice near breathing holes. Long summers with no ice are likely the main reason why many polar bear populations are dropping.
