As the ice drastically melts, we see how science, nature and tradition can prepare us for the future.

Tha deigh aig p貌laichean a鈥� phlanaid agus mullaichean nam beanntan ag atharrachadh gu m貌r. Th猫id t貌rr dheth 脿 sealladh san linn seo. Tha na cruthan-t矛re deighe seo a鈥� dol tro chruth atharrachadh, ach tha buaidh aig an leaghadh a鈥� dol nas fhaide buileach 鈥� chan eil 脿ite sam bith s脿bhailte bho na dh鈥� fhaodadh tachairt.

Fhad 鈥檚 a tha uisge re貌thte a鈥� leaghadh bho na h-eigh-shruthan, siotaichean deighe p貌larach agus deigh na mara, tha e ag atharrachadh patarain aimsire agus sruthan mara, agus chan eil an saoghal mar a tha sinne e貌lach air cho aithnichte dhuinn.

A鈥� falbh air turas iongantach bho ph貌laichean re貌thte an Antartaig agus an Artaig gu 脿rd-chl脿ran m貌r agus sgurran na Himalayas, tha sgioba s貌nraichte de e貌laichean a鈥� tabhainn adhbhar d貌chais airson 脿m ri teachd as aonais deighe. Tha sinn a鈥� sreap am broinn eigh-shruthan, a鈥� tighinn faisg air r貌in, mucan-mara dhronnach agus mathain b脿na gus tuigse fhaighinn air mar a tha beatha agus n脿dar ag atharrachadh agus a鈥� glacadh modhan bheathaichean, nach deach fhaicinn a-riamh, air film.

Tha am pr貌gram seo a鈥� taisbeanadh mar a tha n脿dar a鈥� lorg d貌igh, agus mar a tha saidheans agus traidisean gar ullachadh fh猫in agus ar Cruinne Caochlaideach airson 脿m ri teachd a tha ag atharrachadh aig astar.

Ice at the planet鈥檚 poles and mountain peaks is changing drastically. Much will disappear completely this century. These icescapes are transforming, but the impact of the melt goes much further - nowhere on the planet is immune from the sometimes-unexpected consequences. As frozen water melts from glaciers, polar ice caps and sea ice, it changes weather patterns and ocean currents, and the world as we know it.

Journeying from the frozen poles of Antarctica and the Arctic to the vast plateaus and soaring peaks of the Himalayas, an extraordinary team of experts offer hope for a future with less ice.

We climb into glaciers and capture never seen before animal behaviour on film - getting up close with seals, humpback whales and polar bears to understand how life is changing and nature is adapting. This programme reveals how nature finds a way, and how science, and tradition can help prepare us and our Dynamic Planet for a fast-changing future.
