Icy River

Season 2024 Episode 18 | 26m 40s | CC

An adventurous researcher, joined by her inexperienced graduate student, venture into the high Arctic to endure the Alaskan winter and set up devices to monitor when the Canning River, clogged by winter ice, begins to flow. This is a story about the lengths that the two will go for climate science, and how their partnership changes along the way.
