A Year in the Wild

Alaska's winters are relentless. At temperatures that can even freeze the ocean, the days are short and food is scarce. Anyone who wants to survive here must be perfectly adapted to the icy cold.

After a seven-month-long winter, spring is beginning in Alaska. Now the animal residents have only two months to start a family and ensure their survival.

Summer has arrived in Alaska. Salmon take advantage of the hot season for their migration towards the ocean. However, the journey is not without risk: hungry brown bears are already rubbing their paws.

Autumn is at the doorstep in Alaska. The residents are now making final preparations. For many young animals, it will be the first winter they have to survive on their way to adulthood.
