Ice

Whale researchers Dave Cade and Shirel Kahane-Rapport attach sensors to humpback whales to gather scientific information. It’s a tricky procedure in the challenging conditions of Antarctica.

As the planet warms up, the ice at all three poles — the Arctic, Antarctic and the Himalayas — is melting fast with wide-ranging consequences. The remarkable people living and working in these places reveal how science, nature, and traditional knowledge can prepare us for a fast-changing future.
