Post Description

Nature Documentary narrated by Simon Poland and published by BBC broadcasted as part of BBC Natural World series in 2008 - English narration

This beautifully crafted film tells the story of two arctic predators, a gyr falcon and a wolf, both brilliant white, and both struggling to raise families in the short arctic summer. Their home is a valley on Ellesmere Island, where for just a few months each year the snows melt and the landscape turns from white to brown to green, and the race to breed begins.


The wolf pack has a den on a hillside, the gyr parents an eyrie on a cliff towering above the sea. For both families, success or failure will depend on their hunting prowess, and on the number of arctic hares, lemmings and birds which fluctuates every year.
