In Season 4, explore one of the most remote - and rarely seen tracts of land on the planet - the vast, unexplored reaches of Northern Canada. The boreal forest, barren landscape, and ice-covered peaks cover nearly 4 million square kilometers, and represent 40% of the country.
From the air, we have the rare opportunity to explore the abundance of awe-inspiring vistas this region has to offer – including icebergs, fjords, endless open tundra, bald-faced rolling hills, fiery fall colours and some of the highest mountain peaks in North America. We also survey the communities that make up this region – from stunning Pond Inlet in the East, to remote Paulutuk – and finally Dawson City and Whitehorse in the West.
On the ground, we reveal the unique cultural, and historical aspects of this region – from residents that have lived here for generations. Northern Canada is home to just over 100,000 people - making it one of the least densely populated regions on the planet. Many residents are of Inuit descent – with family histories stretching back hundreds of years. Others are more recent arrivals – drawn by stories of rich oil fields, endless wilderness - and even gold.
