Shot by two filmmakers over fifteen years, this Arctic footage tells the story of a polar bear cub and a walrus pup as they come of age in a melting kingdom. In Australia, the notorious fireweed is threatening the natural habitat of Moreton Bay's endangered green turtles. With the help of Crittercam, researchers explore options for protecting these ancient creatures. Climate change threatens a precious commodity of Hawaii's big island - the Kona coffee bean. Scientists and farmers work to decipher the consequences of a warmer world. Experience the song of the narwhal beneath the Arctic ice. Underwater microphones record rarely heard calls that may provide a better understanding of a complex underwater language.
