The lands of the north bloom as nearly 24 hours of daylight transform the snow-clad landscapes. Ewan McGregor narrates.

The lands of the north bloom as nearly 24 hours of daylight transform the snow-clad landscapes. Arctic fox clans struggle to raise their cubs on Iceland鈥檚 volcanic shores. On Shetland, it鈥檚 time for the otter cub to strike out alone, while a lone puffin also searches out a partner. And in the mountains, tiny reindeer calves take their first steps. As the season moves on, orca pods arrive in Shetland to hunt harbour seals, and fledgling seabirds take a leap of faith, plunging hundreds of metres from their clifftop nesting ledges to the ocean below.
