Award-winning wildlife cameraman Gordon may already have come face to face with polar bears in Svalbard for The Polar Bear Family And Me, but in Churchill he learns how to live in a town where the world's largest living land carnivore is right on your doorstep.

Kate heads to Sweden to see how the largest underground iron ore mine in the world is impacting the Sami reindeer herders and Simon joins the intrepid NASA scientists monitoring the melt of Greenland's glaciers.
