Arctic Mission

Five films…a scientific expedition…a journey across the top of the world!

Join the crew of the three-masted sailing vessel the SEDNA IV on a 5-month voyage. The scientists and filmmakers on board are investigating global warming in Canada’s North, a unique environment on the front line of climate change. They examine the issue from many angles, and the Arctic ecosystem is sending us an urgent message: global warming is already having a serious impact on the planet.
