Fearsome, fascinating and immensely powerful, polar bears spellbind us with their massive size, voracious appetite and social behavior. These bold rulers of the north can grow 10 feet tall and weigh 1500 pounds, dominating everything in their habitat, including man. Each autumn, people from around the globe make the difficult trek to the remote Canadian town of Churchill, Manitoba, for a wild, up-close look at polar bears in their native surroundings. But as both locals and tourists discover, proximity offers both reward and danger. Take a visually stunning trip to the frozen north and come face to face with the world’s largest land carnivore. It’s a rare glimpse at the real life of one of the animal kingdom’s most magnificent creatures. As seen on ABC. Narrated by John Mahoney.
