A collection of shorts featuring wildlife, wild places, and the people living wild lives alongside them.

In Svalbard, the fastest-warming place on Earth, two friends and their canine sidekick uncover how the world's smallest and fattest reindeer are unexpectedly thriving because of rising temperatures. For thousands of years, these reindeer have existed almost entirely beyond the influence of humankind, until now. Are our adventurers really seeing a positive side-effect of climate change in the Arctic, or witnessing the end of innocence for Svalbard reindeer?
