Comments: Alexander Archipelago is a frozen frontier of North America. The opening sequence shows so many animals in their natural habitat. These animals are majestic.
Grizzly Bears wake up hungry, watching them is great as they eat. In a family, a mother and her two cubs enjoy feeding with only a short interruption. These bears are just enjoyable to watch.
The water is teaming with life. Lots of fish, birds, and whales. The Grey Whales come here to feed. These mammals are a sight you are sure not to soon forget.
In the rainforest, you see many species. Here you can also see the magnificent Aurora Borealis. The Flying Squirrels as they launch themselves and glide from tree to tree it is amazing to watch. Below ground, a specular thing is happening.
Pacific Salmon gather here with one of the largest gatherings in the world. The bears visit their spawning grounds. A mother is shown caring for her cub. The cub is learning how to fish as well. The Burying Beetle looks evil.
The moose are big at around 1500 pounds and the antlers are gigantic. A young moose watches and learns about mating. The young one proves he is smart.
The Bald Eagle now these birds are outstanding.
The bears are filmed at night and the way it looks will have you mesmerized by the screen.
Changes do threaten the environment. Yes humans but also the planet itself. These beautiful creatures face hardships yet they do survive.
The film crew did face threats from bears. They did not have any guns only bear spray.
The land here is so beautiful with the mountains and lakes. The open skies provide so much beauty. It would be easy to get lost here in the splendor.
