Due to climate warming, the very coldest regions of our planet are currently undergoing the fastest and most spectacular changes in the Earth's history. From the Alps to Antarctica, come with us on a trip through the glaciers and icebergs, those fascinating ice monsters on the brink of disappearing. Through our series of documentary reports, come with us to meet some of the inhabitants of the polar regions and the researchers studying their lives, and learn more about the very real consequences of the ice melting.
