Overview
In the Arctic, the sun never sets in the summer while in the winter, this icy, northernmost area is enveloped in darkness.

Tears in the Arctic sheds light on the dire problems that our planet is facing as the inhabitants, wildlife and environment in the Arctic are under siege. The plight of the Inuit is covered to show how the natural way of things may come to a screeching halt with catastrophic consequences for our planet.
