More than a year ago, 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.
The result was “Meltdown: Terror at the Top of the World,” an e-book we released last month.

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 part one of the documentary video, “Polar Bear Man,” produced by VICE.
