Each winter, Shiretoko in Japan's far north bears witness to a dramatic spectacle. Drift ice is carried by oceanic currents from the Arctic to shores of the peninsula on the northeastern tip of the island of Hokkaido, where it melts releasing nutrients that benefit the unique local ecosystem. But climate change has steadily pushed back the arrival date of the ice and reduced the volume of the floes, damaging the fishing industry as well as threatening plants, animals, people and the even unique sounds of an area designated a Unesco World Heritage site in 2005.

What a most fascinating side of Japan & its ppl I never knew. Japan never ceases to amaze me. Very beautiful country & fascinating ppl. Thank you for this most informative program. I enjoyed watching it. I guess it's here that tales such as Yuki-Onna were penned.
I would like to talk with that Japanese salmon fisherman.
This reminds me so much about Northern Canada. I wonder if there is any relation between Japanese and Inuit? I noticed they look similar and even the culture are similar.
Amazing cinematography!
Because of the arctic loss of ice there is probably less ice arriving.
oh no, come back ice!
Ohhhhh nooooo!!!! Losing ice is horrifying!!! Let’s bring all the ice back or we are DONE!!!!!!😢😢😢😢
I will never lie to anyone. That’s why I get tortured even more.
Japanese people must work togheter with ainu and okinawa people. The total union between all will make the Japan great as ever . Don't forget the sacrifice of the ancestors. Change your mind about the neighbords and wake up to USA.
Global warming is serious 😢

So beautifully shot!
気候変動ですかね。ヒト含む全ての動植物の未来が心配だ。
Love 😘❤🔥💎🦁🤟
Hope we can do something for climate change

The one thing I find hilarious about the entire climate change hypothesis is that we are forcefully keeping nature from adapting to new ecosystem changes that benefits more so than keeps said struggling and dying ecosystems the same😅
