Description

In this 3 part series - we tell the story of an arctic expedition and the survival story of Ada Blackjack. Ada, an Inuit woman, joins a team of 4 men to the remote Wrangel Island to prove that it is survivable. As a polar bear nesting ground and known for tumultuous weather conditions, no human has successfully survived here for long.
