Watch 'Wild Canada - Part 4' here:    • Wild Canada | Part 4: The Ice Edge | ...  

In this stunning documentary, a journey of exploration is at hand – to re-discover this remarkable and beautiful land with its fabulous landscapes and wildlife, seen through fresh eyes. Filming inside a beaver’s lodge, following the track of bears, swimming deep underwater alongside whales, or taking a macro-look at ice crystals: this production takes us there.

The heartland of Canada presents different landscapes and distinctive habitats: vast forests, countless lakes, and rolling grasslands. First Nations were great hunters, and they had been changing this landscape for thousands of years: from time to time, they would set fire to the prairie to clear the landscape. The wide grass plains offered the perfect habitat for what is probably the most iconic animal of North America - the bison. The Canadian heartland is also studded with countless lakes which became a crucial resource for water birds on their long migration south. Snow geese are drawn there in large numbers, as well as sandhill cranes and huge flocks of ducks.

This vast wild country, boasting the longest coastline in the world with shores on three oceans, has the greatest north-south latitude range of any nation in the world. Countless generations of humans have shaped Canada’s nature for their own purposes and their own survival, ever since the kilometer-thick ice began to melt and the land beneath was exposed. Over time, next to humans an array of plants and animals invaded these regions as well – mammoths, moose, and musk ox were common sights in the vast plains of what now is Canada.
