Ice Bears get their name from the frosty icicles on their coats. When most of the Yukon River freezes over, they flock to the last flowing section of water to catch salmon that spawn there. But what happens to Ice Bears, and to the Indigenous Gwichʼin community who live along the river, when the salmon start to disappear?

A BBC Studios Natural History Unit co-production with Wellcome.
