Thin Ice -Saattuq 7pm March 17, 2007 (This is when the entire show will be on) Polar bears, walrus, muskox and caribou are all part of a delicate ecosystem now threatened by climate change. Saattuq means thin ice in Inuktitut, and the Inuit are experiencing this first hand, forever changing their traditional way of life of hunting on the ice for food and clothing. The thinning of the ice is opening up new areas for resource exploitation and now the rest of the world wants a piece of Canada's Arctic; the planet's final frontier. Thin Ice takes us from the headlines and political speeches to the frontlines of Canada's Arctic - where global warming is not just a distant threat, its impact is now.
There are numerous photos and videos about this event that is occurring way too quickly as we've heard many times, yet this is such a serious issue.
