Description
Only the strong survive at the top of the world. Stalk the Arctic ice with its fiercest predator, the polar bear, as it prowls one of the most forbidding places on the planet - a hidden kingdom of magnificent creatures. Armed with a keen sense of smell and backed up by 1,700 pounds of fur and fangs, the polar bear stands alone at the top of the food chain. Yet many other hunters manage to survive in and around harsh Arctic waters, from the savvy arctic fox to the massive, whiskered walrus. The Arctic ice is revealed as a place of danger and drama where animals are stranded on frozen waters, trapped between moving sheets of ice, and caught in the struggle to survive. Brave the world that nature has to offer for a rare visit to the ARCTIC KINGDOM: LIFE AT THE EDGE. SPECIAL BONUS: Also contains "Freeze Frame: An Arctic Adventure" - 25 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage.

In the mood to travel but find Hawaii annoyingly lush and balmy? National Geographic has quite the deal for you. Sit right back and follow narrator James Coburn on a journey into Arctic Kingdom: Life on the Edge. From a slippery tour of the arctic ice to a dizzying tumble down the rugged cliffs of Lancaster Sound's Prince Leopold Island, it's all fun at 50 below!

As frigid and windswept as it may be, however, there is no lack of life even in the farthest reaches of the arctic, some of it beautiful, some of it frankly more than a little frightening. A chance encounter with a 1,700-pound polar bear snacking on the carcass of a cute little ring seal might change the way you look at the fluffy white stuffed animal on your bed. To restore your nerves, a quick dip with the narwhal will bring the exotic splendor of the unicorn out of the storybooks and into the shimmering waters of the arctic deep.

This hourlong documentary is followed by a fascinating 25-minute presentation of behind-the-scenes footage as well, so be sure to pack plenty of vitamin-C-rich whale skin (a.k.a. muktuk) for energy! --Bob Michaels
