The North Pole Unwrapped - Russell Kane, Felicity Aston and Lloyd Peck
Brian Cox and Robin Ince venture north to unearth (or un-snow) the secrets of the Arctic.
In this Christmas episode of The Infinite Monkey Cage, Brian Cox and Robin Ince head to the North Pole to explore the dazzling science behind the northern lights, the extreme adaptations that help animals - and even Santa Claus - survive the Arctic cold, and how the Earth鈥檚 magnetic field might just guide him home. Joining the monkeys are comedian Russell Kane, Arctic explorer Felicity Aston and Polar biologist Lloyd Peck, as they brave the chill to uncover the wonders of one of Earth鈥檚 most remote and magical frontiers.
