"Arctic with Bruce Parry" is a five-part documentary following adventurer Bruce Parry in the spectacular wilderness of the Arctic. During the summer solstice in Siberia, he meets the Sakha horse people and visits a remote encampment of Eveny reindeer herders in the Verkhoyansk Mountains. When he journeys to the far north of Greenland, he experiences the realities of life for Inuit hunters on a seal hunt, and works with a mining team that is discovering new minerals in the area. In Alaska, Parry dives to the bottom of the Bering Sea to look for gold, and witnesses the annual whale hunt of the Inupiak people. The fourth part of the adventurer's odyssey finds him in Canada with the Caribou people, where he watches their annual spring hunt. He then heads south to the tar sands of Alberta, home to the second largest oil reserves in the world. Parry's six-month journey concludes in Norway, where he spends time with the Sami reindeer herders, who use snowmobiles, boats and sometimes helicopters to move animals, and witnesses the Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights. The programme premiered on BBC Two in early 2011.
