Accompany Steve Backshall to Greenland, where he aims to kayak across the world’s largest fjord during the Arctic’s most volatile and dangerous time of year – the spring melt – in an attempt to understand how rising temperatures impact the area.
Steve and the team are in Greenland to kayak an Arctic fjord earlier in the year than has ever been possible, due to warming seas and shorter winters. To get a view of the fjord from above they’re relying on a very special mode of transport. For thousands of years, the people of Greenland have lived side by side with dogs, and they make the perfect sled pullers.
