Climate change is now happening four times faster north of the Arctic Circle than on the rest of the planet, making the future outlook dire.

A documentary visit to the Arctic - as long as it still exist.

- In the heart of the Arctic, the Yamal peninsula is the world's largest gas exploitation zone, a symbol of Russia's energy hyperpower, which caused the appetite of oil corporations. But the Yamal peninsula is also the ancestral home of the Nenets, who have been pasturing here with their droves for over 200 generations. Every year the nomads undertake a journey of 1500 km. But for how much longer can they survive? Today in Yamal, pastures have given way to gas fields. Growing towns, a railway, an airport, the deep scars on the landscape caused by extraction of gas and oil, and the new nuclear-powered icebreakers, which will create busy shipping lanes in the Arctic, are all changing the local ecosystem.
