Video—Meltdown: Terror at the Top of the World

In 2014, InsideClimate News reporter Sabrina Shankman set out to tell the story of seven American hikers who went on a wilderness adventure into Canada’s Arctic tundra—polar bear country—and came back with a harrowing story.

Shankman also traveled with Vice, ICN’s partner in this project, to report first-hand from the site where the hikers pitched their tents in the wilderness.

This is the documentary video of the story, “Polar Bear Man,” produced by VICE.
