Follow the sun as it touches the lives of creatures across the planet,
bringing a fresh understanding of how the world is interconnected. From the North Pole to the South Pole, the program illuminates the importance of the sun's energy to life on E...arth and examines how the seasons produce some of the world's greatest spectacles. Such animals as polar bears, impalas, fur seals, and emperor penguins must battle the varying temperatures and changing weather conditions of their ecosystems to survive - often resorting to hibernation and migration. For other species, like the critically endangered Amur leopard, the struggle proves even more desperate and complex. Run time 02:55.

Take a virtual expedition deep under the Arctic ice along with a research team from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in this interactive activity adapted fromNOVA scienceNOW. Through two collections of photos and video footage, learn about th...e obstacles the team faced at the frozen sea surface, as well as the geological and biological discoveries deep down near the Gakkel Ridge, an 1,100-mile-long section of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. There, volcanic activity generates new ocean crust, and the combination of chemical reactions and lack of sunlight supports a web of unusual life forms.

Each winter, the ice apron that surrounds the continent of Antarctica expands from its summertime area of about 4 million square kilometers (1.5 million sq mi) to 20 million square kilometers (7.5 million sq mi). Although its presence has proven trea...cherous for would-be explorers and commercial shippers, sea ice provides essential hunting, feeding, and breeding habitats to polar bears, seals, and penguins. It also helps regulate temperature, moisture, and ocean salinity worldwide. In this video segment adapted from NOVA, learn how sea ice forms and how its seasonal fluctuation dramatically changes the continent of Antarctica. Run time 02:35.
