a up close look at gray whales in mag bay
In the winter of 2001, a team of high altitude balloonists embarked on a rare and dangerous expedition over the world’s largest in-land sea – the Hudson Bay. Polar Safari is an adventure across virtually uncharted territory, rarely seen at this time of year and never traversed before by balloon. Along the way, the team encounters the unique people that inhabit the surrounding land and observe spectacular wonders. The expedition’s success put these fearless adventurers into the record books.
The Thelon Game Sanctuary, located hundreds of kilometers north of the tree line, is a boreal oasis that should not exist.

The Pacific coast of North America is the largest laboratory on earth where on-going studies into the state of the Killer Whale reveal startling new information about the oceans we inhabit. Killer in Peril is a sobering report on our planet’s heath told from the unique perspective of an extraordinary animal.
This is the story of studying Mars on Earth at Devon Island, the largest uninhabited island in the world located 500 kilometres southwest of the Magnetic North Pole. Devon Island is an analogue to Mars which has made it extremely interesting to NASA. Mars on Earth follows the largest scientific mission on Earth known as the NASA/Haughton-Mars Project. With exclusive access, we follow Dr. Pascal Lee and his team of 60 scientists in their exploration of Mars on Earth.

The sea otter's deft aquatic acrobatics are truly befitting of nature's prima ballerina. After a century of extinction on Canada’s remote West Coast, the sea otter’s re-introduction into the wild has forced it to share the stage with another specie that dances to a different tune.
From the high Arctic, to the Columbia ice fields, from the Yukon's Mount Logan, to the Pacific coast, the glaciers of Canada are the planet's most diverse frozen repository of secrets, telling the tale of our past, present and future in magnificent detail.
Three of the world's leading experts share their intimate understanding of wolf behavior. John and Mary Theberge and Michael Runtz have spent a lifetime studying wolves and in particular, wolf language. Against the magnificent natural backdrop of one of the world’s greatest parks, we learn the nuances of wolf language and, in turn, perhaps better understand what they might be
