For anyone with a hankering to go Polar Bears spotting in the Arctic, the BBC 'Spy on the Ice' on Wednesday was a facinating insight in to the lives of these extraordinary bears. The BBC have excelled themselves again to get up close and personal with a series of remote cameras showing Polar Bears to be extremely intelligent, playful and downright destructive. We don’t normally recommend sitting in front of the TV but this is a must see - if you missed Spy on the Ice it is currently available on i-player. There is also a extract video below of the camera destroying antics!
Following on from his Amazon adventures in the series 'Tribe', Bruce Parry takes on a slightly colder challenge as he discovers the customs and traditions of the people of the Arctic. The 5 part series 'Arctic' starts Sunday 2nd January courtsey of BBC Two.
