Polar people

The North Pole and the South Pole are icescapes that seem and look very alike, but look closer and you will find they are as opposite as night and day, summer and winter, for the Arctic and Antarctic are literally poles apart.

Produced by NHNZ

Polar People seeks out the people who have made these harsh environments home — the Eskimo, Inuit, Saami and oil workers of the North and the scientists and explorers of the South.
