The Great Lakes, home to a fifth of the world's fresh water and the backbone of a vast ecosystem, are explored from every angle on this documentary series.
The spring thaw in the Great Lakes creates ice tsunamis. Photosynthetic salamanders, fishing wolves, deep-diving moose, baby rattlesnakes and colourful fish hunting mid-air all show us unique adaptations to spring.
The story of how winter has shaped life in the Great Lakes. A polar vortex paralyzes fish and ducks and attracts hundreds of bald eagles. Wolves hunt deer trapped by ice, but are manipulated by ravens. See how animals use snow to survive.
Water flows from Lake Superior's headwaters to the Atlantic Ocean, spanning 20 percent of our planet's freshwater. Beavers and wolves change the landscape. Loons, owls, moose, bears and people depend upon these lakes we take for granted.
